Smoke Vents

Protecting lives with intelligent smoke ventilation and control systems.
We design, install, and maintain Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) systems that deliver critical smoke control in multi-storey and high-occupancy buildings. During a fire, these systems activate automatically to vent smoke, limit toxic build-up, and help keep escape routes clear.From stairwell systems to corridor and façade vents, our AOV solutions are fully integrated into your fire strategy and delivered in line with Building Regulations, BS 9991, and BS EN 12101 — supporting safe evacuation and effective fire service intervention.
Whether retrofitting an existing building or specifying systems for a new development, our experienced teams deliver intelligent, effective ventilation solutions designed around your layout and occupancy risk.We provide a complete turnkey service — from initial consultation and compliance advice through to installation, testing, and ongoing maintenance — helping you create safer environments and meet your legal obligations with confidence.

AOV System Design

Every smoke ventilation system begins with a thorough understanding of your building layout and fire risk profile. We assess each site carefully and specify the most appropriate natural or mechanical AOV solution to suit your requirements.From louvred and window vents to smoke shafts and roof-mounted systems, all designs are engineered to meet relevant BS and EN standards — ensuring effective smoke control, regulatory compliance, and dependable performance in an emergency.

Installation & Commissioning

Our in-house installation teams ensure every system is installed correctly, fully integrated with associated fire systems such as alarms, and thoroughly tested for performance and compliance.We manage the entire process — from access equipment and control interfaces to wiring, actuators, and final sign-off — delivering each project with minimal disruption and clear, comprehensive documentation.

Planned Maintenance

To remain legally compliant and fully effective in an emergency, AOV systems require regular servicing and inspection. We provide tailored maintenance programmes covering functional testing, cleaning, motor operation, and control panel checks.All maintenance activity is recorded within our CAFM platform, with automated alerts for upcoming inspections and tests — giving you complete visibility, control, and confidence that your smoke ventilation systems are ready when needed.

Fault Finding & Remedials

If smoke ventilation systems fail testing or develop faults, our engineers respond quickly to diagnose and resolve the issue. We replace damaged components, recalibrate controls, and confirm that opening speeds and force limits meet the required standards.Our focus is straightforward — to keep your building safe, compliant, and fully protected at all times.
