Re-routing, extensions and register relocation to match new partitions, ceilings or restaurant floor plans. It's a narrower job than our general ductwork fabrication and installation work, but it comes up often enough that we run it as its own line of service.
Every price is confirmed in writing after an inspection, before any work begins.
Duct Modification & Re-Routing
Re-routing, extensions and register relocation to match new partitions, ceilings or restaurant floor plans.
Duct losses are invisible and expensive: cooled air escaping into a ceiling void is paid for and never delivered. We inspect the runs, seal failed joints, and replace insulation that has been compressed or damaged by other trades working above the ceiling. Where a room has never cooled properly, this is very often the cause rather than the unit itself.
Custom galvanised iron sheet metal ducting, pre-insulated panels and flexible ducts fabricated and fitted for new layouts.

It depends on the scope and site access. Starting from AED 449. An inspection gets you a fixed number before we start.
Yes, out-of-hours and weekend scheduling is available, particularly for occupied commercial sites.
A typical apartment takes two to four hours and a villa most of a working day, depending on the number of vents and how the ductwork is laid out. We confirm the duration at the inspection so you can plan access.
No. We seal the vents, sheet the floors and cover furniture before starting, and the debris is drawn out through a HEPA-filtered vacuum rather than pushed into the room. A domestic vacuum returns fine particulate straight back into the air, which is why we do not use one.
Every 12 to 18 months for a typical home. Sooner if you are near active construction, have pets, or anyone in the household has asthma or allergies. Restaurants and clinics need it considerably more often.

Why It Matters
Why duct modification & re-routing is worth doing properly
Dubai's conditions are unusually hard on air distribution. Fine desert sand and construction dust load a system in weeks rather than months, and coastal humidity keeps the interior of the ductwork damp for most of the year. That combination is what allows mould, bacteria and dust mites to establish inside a duct network, and every time the unit cycles it circulates into the room people are breathing in.
The consequence is rarely dramatic. It shows up as morning congestion that clears when you leave the house, a musty smell in the first minute after start-up, and a cooling system that runs longer each year for the same result. By the time it is obvious, the household has usually been paying for it on the DEWA bill for a considerable time.
Why HILLS
We inspect before quoting, and the written price we give is the price you pay. No revision once the work has started, and no discovery of additional scope on the day. Where a job falls outside what we do, we say so rather than taking it on.
Every job is documented. Photographs before and after go to your WhatsApp the same day, and certificates are issued where one is needed for inspection. The equipment is proper trade kit — HEPA-filtered extraction, calibrated instruments and cameran inspection — because diagnosis before parts is what keeps a quote honest.
We have worked on Dubai cooling since 2021, across 67 communities and everything from a single split unit in a JVC apartment to chiller plant rooms and commercial kitchen extract systems. That range matters, because it means the person who attends has seen your system type before.
