Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for Enniskillen: the essentials
Our smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) service in Enniskillen covers automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
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 blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Enniskillen is the main town we list in County Fermanagh; we also cover nearby Omagh and Strabane.

Building control and safety duties in Enniskillen
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 supply manufacturer-certified units and arrange installation, commissioning and servicing through specialist smoke-control engineers.
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.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Common questions
Do you design the smoke strategy?
No — the strategy comes from the building's fire engineer or designer. We supply, install, commission and service to it.
How often should AOVs be tested?
Industry guidance recommends regular functional checks and at least annual servicing. Your fire risk assessment sets the regime.
Do smoke vents need a control panel?
Electric AOVs work with a control panel that links them to detectors, the fire alarm and override switches.
How do I book a survey in Enniskillen?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
Can you work alongside my builder in Enniskillen?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
