Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Kirkintilloch: what is involved?
We handle smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire, including Kirkintilloch. In short: automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Many Scottish homes have dormers and attic rooms where an extra roof window adds light without a full dormer. Typical uses for smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) include communal stairwells, corridors and atria.
Kirkintilloch is around 11 km from Glasgow, and we survey and fit throughout that part of Glasgow and Dunbartonshire, including the G66 district.

Regulations for smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Kirkintilloch
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. Fragile-roof safety and access are planned before work starts.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.

Questions about smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Kirkintilloch
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.
Can a smoke vent be used for normal ventilation?
Many dual-purpose units also open for daily ventilation, closing automatically in rain.
Can you replace an old smoke vent?
Yes, with an equivalent certified unit that matches the original design area and performance, so the fire strategy is not compromised.
