Safety netting for AC ducts, utility shafts and light wells that stops falling objects and prevents bird and rodent entry.
Safety netting for AC ducts, utility shafts and light wells that stops falling objects and prevents bird and rodent entry.
Duct areas, utility shafts and light wells between apartment blocks are common spots for dropped items to fall through, and open shafts are also frequent bird and pest entry points. We fit netting across duct openings and shaft mouths at each floor level or at the base, depending on the building's design.
Because duct areas are often narrow and awkward to access, we use a rope-access or scaffold approach for upper-floor installations, with netting fixed to structural anchor points on both sides of the shaft. This is commonly requested by housing societies after an incident of a dropped item or bird nesting inside the duct.

Frequently asked questions
Why do duct areas need separate netting from balconies?+
Duct shafts are usually narrower, harder to access and often run the full height of the building, so they need a different anchoring approach and access method than a standard balcony.
Can this stop birds and rats from entering the shaft?+
Yes, sealing the shaft opening with tight-weave netting blocks both bird and rodent entry points, which is one of the most common reasons societies request this service.
Do you need rope access for upper floors?+
For upper-floor duct openings without direct balcony access, we use rope access or scaffold depending on the building, which is quoted separately after a site survey.
