External duct installation at height in Barcelona.

5/5 · Google reviews

When is an external duct needed?

  • Premises with no flue to the roof
  • Boiler or stove without a chimney
  • Old duct that is loose or rusted
  • Extraction that does not draw well

What the duct installation includes

  • Route survey

    We define the route, diameter and outlet to suit the appliance and the RITE.

  • Twin-wall ducting

    Stainless or galvanised steel, insulated where the use requires it.

  • Brackets and clamps

    Anchored to the façade at regular intervals so the duct does not vibrate or move.

  • Penetrations and joints

    Wall or slab penetrations and sealed joints to prevent leaks and drips.

  • Roof outlet

    Finished with a cowl above the roof line, away from windows.

  • Discreet finish

    Powder-coated or painted duct in the façade colour, if you wish.

From ground floor to roof: how we work

In 1960s and 70s buildings in areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic and La Barceloneta, we often find old sheet-metal boiler flues and ducts that have worked loose or have rusted clamps. We dismantle them section by section from the ropes, lower them carefully and cap the fixings left in the façade.

Working on ropes in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, we first fix brackets and clamps at regular intervals, then raise the sections from the bottom up, fitting and sealing each joint. The duct ends up straight, free of vibration and with no drips at the joints.

With over 20 years in construction, we plan the route, explain how we would install the duct and set it out in a written quote. We carry out rope access work nearby too: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès.

We do this work in Barcelona, in areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic, La Barceloneta, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, and also nearby: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès.

02

Can a duct from a ground-floor unit be taken up to the roof without scaffolding?

Yes. We install the duct in sections, working on ropes from the roof, without taking up the pavement with structures or closing the street.

03

Does the duct have to come out above the roof?

For smoke and boiler flues, usually yes, at the height and distance from windows set by regulations. During the visit we check what your case requires.

04

What do you do with the old duct?

We dismantle it in sections from the ropes, lower it carefully and take it away, then make good the old fixing points on the façade.
