What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Flint involve?
Thinking about smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Flint? The short answer: automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Wales sees a lot of wind-driven rain, particularly in the west, so upstand height and flashing laps matter more than anywhere. Think of smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Flint sits about 8 km from Deeside and 9 km from Buckley, and we cover the whole CH6 postcode district and the roads in between.

Regulations for smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Flint
Smoke vents are life-safety equipment: in Wales the responsible person must keep them maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (as it applies in Wales). We supply manufacturer-certified units and arrange installation, commissioning and servicing through specialist smoke-control engineers.
For non-domestic buildings in Wales, Approved Document L sets limiting U-values for rooflights and roof ventilators; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building control submission. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
