Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for Craigavon: the essentials
For Craigavon homes and buildings we offer smoke vent rooflights (AOVs): automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. We measure first, specify to the opening and confirm any planning or building-control points before quoting.
Northern Ireland has a mix of terraces, bungalows and rural farmhouses, and rooflights are a common upgrade when extending. Think of smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for communal stairwells, corridors and atria.
We cover all of Craigavon and the BT62 district, and nearby Lurgan and Portadown.

Regulations for smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Craigavon
Smoke vents are life-safety equipment: in Northern Ireland the appropriate person must keep them maintained under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. We install to the building's fire strategy and the manufacturer's certification.
For non-domestic buildings in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F2 covers energy performance; we supply the manufacturer's data for building control. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
