What do smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) in Egham involve?
Our smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) service in Egham 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.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Think of smoke vent rooflights (AOVs) for blocks of flats and commercial buildings with a smoke strategy.
Egham sits about 3 km from Staines and 7 km from Ashford, Surrey, and we cover the whole TW20 postcode district and the roads in between.

Can a smoke vent be used for normal ventilation?
Many dual-purpose units also open for daily ventilation, closing automatically in rain.
