AOV and smoke control in Tamworth

There is no single AOV house brand on this page. SE Controls, Nuaire, Brooks, Geze, D+H, Colt, TROX and the others below are all in scope. The survey says which one is installed.

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

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.

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.

Quotes are POA. The number is 07517806082. Photos of the panel door help; they do not replace the survey.

Tamworth is a regional AOV visit of about 57 miles. Allow time for keys, the fire panel and a talk with whoever owns the fire strategy.
