About AOV Installation
AOV installation — automatic opening vents for smoke control — is critical on stair cores, lobbies and corridors in residential blocks and commercial buildings. iComply design and install AOV systems to BS 9991 and EN 12101 practice across Greater Manchester and the North West, covering roof vents, window AOVs, louvres, control panels, actuators, battery backup and fire-alarm interfaces with full commissioning.
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. Based in Stockport, our AOV engineers work with landlords, developers and main contractors on fixed-price packages once the design is agreed.

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.
