What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Tenby involve?
Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Tenby means automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. We cover the SA70 district and the rest of Dyfed, with a survey before any price is fixed.
Welsh planning rules exclude rooflights from permitted development in conservation areas and National Parks, so we check the designation before quoting. Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) suit blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
From Tenby to Pembroke Dock, Haverfordwest and Carmarthen, the same survey-first process applies: measure, specify, fix the price, then fit.

Things we check at survey
- Smoke ventilation is designed to the building's fire strategy — we install to that design

Rules and responsibilities in Tenby
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 install to the building's fire strategy and the manufacturer's certification.
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
