Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Fleetwood: what is involved?
We handle smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) across Lancashire, including Fleetwood. 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.
Rear kitchen extensions on North West semis often have small domes from decades ago that leak or have yellowed. Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) suit blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Neighbouring towns include Thornton-Cleveleys (6 km) and Blackpool (12 km). We offer a survey date when we reply to your enquiry.

Things we check at survey
- Smoke ventilation is designed to the building's fire strategy — we install to that design
- The product should be certified to BS EN 12101-2 as a natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilator
Building control and safety duties in Fleetwood
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
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.
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.
Do smoke vents need a control panel?
Electric AOVs work with a control panel that links them to detectors, the fire alarm and override switches.
Can you work alongside my builder in Fleetwood?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
How do I book a survey in Fleetwood?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
