What We Offer

Smoke ventilation systems are critical in multi-storey residential buildings, commercial premises and shared escape routes. They remove smoke and heat from corridors and stairwells, maintaining tenable conditions for evacuation and firefighter access.

Automatic Opening Vents (AOVs)

Roof and wall-mounted ventilators that open automatically on fire alarm activation, releasing smoke and heat from communal areas.

Mechanical Smoke Extract

Fan-driven extraction systems for buildings where natural ventilation is insufficient — common in deep-plan buildings and basements.

Stairwell Pressurisation

Positive pressure systems that prevent smoke entering protected stairwells, maintaining a clear escape route for occupants.

Control Panels & Integration

Dedicated smoke vent control panels integrated with fire alarm systems for automatic and manual operation.

Compliance & Maintenance

  • Designed to BS EN 12101 and BS 9991
  • Compliant with Building Regulations Approved Document B
  • Weekly automated self-test functionality
  • Scheduled maintenance contracts with full documentation
