Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Bridlington: what is involved?
Our smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) service in Bridlington 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.
Conservation areas and stone villages across Yorkshire often call for conservation rooflights in slate or stone-slate roofs. Think of smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Bridlington is around 39 km from Hull, and we survey and fit throughout that part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, including the YO16 district.

Rules and responsibilities in Bridlington
Smoke vents are life-safety equipment: in England the responsible person must keep them maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We install to the building's fire strategy and the manufacturer's certification.
For buildings other than dwellings, Approved Document L Volume 2 sets limiting U-values of 2.2 W/m²K for rooflights and 3.0 W/m²K for roof ventilators, including smoke vents. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.

Common questions
Who is responsible for maintaining smoke vents?
The responsible person (or duty holder in Scotland, appropriate person in Northern Ireland) for the building must keep fire safety systems maintained. We can arrange servicing and keep records.
Can a smoke vent be used for normal ventilation?
Many dual-purpose units also open for daily ventilation, closing automatically in rain.
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 I need to be at home for the survey in Bridlington?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
Can you work alongside my builder in Bridlington?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
