Panel, actuator, vent and interface are quoted as separate lines when Aberkenfig only needs one of them. Full replacements are quoted when the system cannot be kept.

BS EN 12101, BS 9991 and Approved Document B are the reference points. We record the fire-alarm interface rather than assuming the vent will open because a magnet dropped out.

Batteries, rain sensors and end-of-travel faults are ordinary. They are still written up. A stuck-open vent in weather is a building problem, not a cosmetic one.
