So what is a shunt duct?
Shunt Duct Description
Shunt Ducts only remove the products of combustion from open flued appliances. These appliances gather their air for combustion from the rooms in which they are situated. All products of combustion then pass into the Shunt Duct before again venting to the atmosphere via a roof terminal.
How do we inspect a Shunt Duct?
As a Shunt Duct takes its air for combustion from the room in which the appliance is situated, this air obviously needs to be able to enter the property.
Individual property vents will usually be visible from outside the property. These, once found will be visually assessed for their ability to perform as required.
Moving to the roof, we'll take CO, CO2, duct velocity and temperature readings, before then passing the endoscopic camera, capable of panning, tilting and zooming in on any issues we recognise, from the terminal to the duct base.
End Result
Once all ducts are inspected, we'll head back to our Derbyshire office and start on your report.
Each Report will consist of a description of your property, highlighting each duct and any associated issues backed up by a Memory Stick USB, with all recordings and associated still images.
Any serious safety issues found on the day of the inspection will be passed to you immediately in real time, backed up by a Safety Warning Notice later that day for any Immediately Dangerous situations and within 24hrs for any At Risk, describing what the issue is and where.
