Building control and safety duties in Crieff
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. Fire classification of rooflight materials near boundaries is checked at specification.
See our building regulations guide for U-values, glazing limits and self-certification.
