Duct and utility shafts run vertically through many floors of a building, and a single unsealed opening becomes an access point for pigeons at any floor along that shaft, not just the one where you noticed the problem. Our inspection traces the full shaft rather than only the visible opening.
Because duct areas are narrow and often only accessible from awkward angles, installation uses smaller panel sections stitched together on-site rather than a single large net sheet, ensuring a tight seal around AC compressor units, pipework and structural beams inside the shaft.
We also address falling-object risk in duct areas, since loose tools, tiles or building material dropped from upper floors during maintenance work can travel the full height of an unsealed shaft; correctly netted shafts catch this debris at each floor rather than letting it fall to the base.
Duct netting is typically installed from the flat's balcony or utility window rather than requiring shaft access, keeping the job non-intrusive to other residents sharing the same shaft.
Pricing guide
| Area / Type | Typical Price Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single duct opening | ₹2,500 – ₹6,000 | Depends on shaft depth and access |
| Multi-floor shaft (per building) | On-site quote | Coordinated across all floors sharing the shaft |
Prices are indicative; your exact quote depends on site inspection, height and access.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need access to other flats sharing the same duct?+
Usually no — most duct netting is installed from your own balcony or utility window opening without needing access to neighbouring flats.
Will this stop debris falling from floors above during maintenance?+
Yes, a properly netted shaft catches falling tools, tiles or material at each floor rather than letting it fall the full height of the building.
How is duct netting priced compared to balcony netting?+
It's usually priced per opening rather than per sq.ft, since panel-fitting labour is higher relative to the area covered.
Can this be combined with pigeon netting on the same visit?+
Yes, duct and pigeon netting are frequently done together in a single visit since they address the same bird-entry problem.
