Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Lurgan: what is involved?
For Lurgan 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.
Lurgan sits about 4 km from Craigavon and 9 km from Portadown, and we cover the whole BT66 postcode district and the roads in between.

Building control and safety duties in Lurgan
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
