About AOV Inspection
An AOV inspection is a structured look at condition and readiness — vents, actuators, wiring, panels, batteries and manual controls — before problems turn into failed evacuations or audit findings. iComply provide AOV inspections for freeholders, agents and commercial landlords across Stockport and the North West, with clear reports prioritising safety-critical defects.
Inspections suit acquisition due diligence, post-refurbishment checks and annual compliance reviews. We note corrosion, blocked louvres, damaged rain sensors, unlabelled panels and missing firefighter controls as well as operational faults. Where testing is included, results sit alongside the condition report. Recommendations are costed at a high level so boards can budget remedials. Multi-block portfolios can be inspected on a rolling programme with consistent scoring.
- ●Structured condition inspection of vents and controls
- ●Identification of safety-critical versus cosmetic defects
- ●Optional functional testing during the same visit
- ●Portfolio-ready reports for agents and freeholders

AOV Inspection FAQ
What is the difference between AOV inspection and testing?+
Inspection focuses on condition and completeness; testing proves operation. Combined visits give the fullest picture.
Will an inspection alone make us compliant?+
Inspection finds issues; you still need maintenance, repairs and records. We help plan the next steps.
Can inspections support a property purchase?+
Yes — buyers and surveyors use our reports to understand smoke-control liabilities before exchange.
