What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Kirriemuir involve?
Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Kirriemuir means automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. We cover the DD8 district and the rest of Dundee and Angus, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Scottish weather is hard on roofs, so we specify rooflights and roof windows with exposure in mind and fit upstands with generous heights. Think of smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Jobs in Kirriemuir are planned around access: whether the roof can be reached from the garden, whether a hoist or crane is needed, and where we can park. We check this when we measure.
What you can choose
- Rain and wind sensors for daily vent use
- Electric (24 V) or pneumatic actuation
- Break-glass and smoke-detector triggers
- Service and test plans
- Glazed rooflight or louvred vent
- Replacement of failed or obsolete units
- Also usable for day-to-day ventilation
Before you order: points to check
- Whoever holds the building's fire-safety duties (the responsible person, the duty holder in Scotland or the appropriate person in Northern Ireland) must keep systems maintained and tested
- The product should be certified to BS EN 12101-2 as a natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilator
Building control and safety duties in Kirriemuir
Smoke vents are life-safety equipment: in Scotland the duty holder must keep them maintained under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. We install to the building's fire strategy and the manufacturer's certification.
For non-domestic buildings in Scotland, the non-domestic Technical Handbook (section 6) sets the energy standards for rooflights; we supply the manufacturer's data for the building warrant. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

Yes, with an equivalent certified unit that matches the original design area and performance, so the fire strategy is not compromised.
