Nail Guns and Fixings
Pneumatic nailers, staplers, and fixing tools across timber frame, roofing, and finishing trades.
Where Construction Gets Compressed Air Wrong
Hiring the wrong size compressor
Too small and your tools run slowly. Too big and you waste fuel and budget. Getting the specification right for your actual tool demand saves money and keeps your crew productive.
Noise and emissions compliance on urban sites
Urban construction sites face noise restrictions and emissions requirements. Standard diesel compressors may not comply. Electric and silenced options exist but need specifying correctly.
Maintenance falling behind on portable equipment
Plant managers lose track of individual machine service dates. Overdue maintenance leads to breakdowns, failed inspections, and unsafe equipment on site.
The Right Air for the Right Job
Airmech supplies and maintains compressed air equipment for construction applications. From portable units for site work to permanent installations for workshops and depots.
We size equipment to match your actual tool demand, handle servicing at the right intervals, and provide temporary air solutions for projects where permanent systems are not yet in place.
