What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Fleet involve?
Thinking about smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Fleet? The short answer: automatic smoke ventilators at the head of stairwells and atria. The longer answer depends on your roof, which is why we survey before we price.
Many South East homes have been extended more than once, and an old dome over an earlier extension is often due for replacement. Typical uses for smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) include blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Neighbouring towns include Farnborough (6 km) and Aldershot (6 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.
What you can choose
- Glazed rooflight or louvred vent
- Control panel with battery backup
- Electric (24 V) or pneumatic actuation
- Service and test plans
- Rain and wind sensors for daily vent use
- Opens automatically on alarm signal

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
- Replacing a vent with a non-equivalent product can affect the fire strategy
Rules and responsibilities in Fleet

Electric AOVs work with a control panel that links them to detectors, the fire alarm and override switches.
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.
