About AOV Installation

Every install starts with a survey of smoke strategy, free area requirements and existing detection. We supply and fit quality vents and actuators, wire control panels, prove open/close cycles under power and backup, and hand over certificates and user guidance for the responsible person. New-build fit-outs, retrofit vents on occupied blocks and phased corridor upgrades are all within scope. Stockport-based AOV engineers work with landlords, developers and main contractors on fixed-price packages once design is agreed, including cause-and-effect testing with the fire alarm.

AOV Installation FAQ

What is an AOV system?+

An automatic opening vent system opens smoke vents or windows when fire is detected, helping keep escape routes clearer of smoke—common in flats and multi-storey buildings.

Do new AOV installs need fire-alarm interfacing?+

Usually yes—AOVs should open on relevant fire signals and often include manual override and cause-and-effect testing during commissioning.

How long does AOV installation take?+

Small single-vent jobs may complete in a day; multi-core residential schemes take longer and are programmed around access and weather for roof works.

Do you provide maintenance after installation?+

Yes. Planned AOV maintenance with actuator tests, battery checks and service certificates keeps the system ready—available as a standalone or estate PPM contract.
