What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Aberfeldy involve?
Our smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) service in Aberfeldy 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.
Tenements and flats are common in Scottish towns and cities, where rooflights over stairwells and top-floor flats need the owners' and factor's agreement. Smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) suit communal stairwells, corridors and atria.
We work across Perth and Kinross, including Aberfeldy, and in neighbouring towns such as Pitlochry and Crieff. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.

Rules and responsibilities in Aberfeldy
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 supply manufacturer-certified units and arrange installation, commissioning and servicing through specialist smoke-control engineers.
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.
