About AOV Maintenance
AOV maintenance keeps smoke vents ready for the day they are needed — seized actuators, flat batteries and ignored faults put escape stairs at risk. iComply provide planned AOV maintenance to BS 9991 / EN 12101 practice for apartment blocks, high-rise and commercial landlords across Stockport, Greater Manchester and the wider North West, with service certificates and actuator test records.
Visits include functional open/close tests, inspection of vents, louvres and weather seals, control-panel checks, battery health, fire-alarm interface verification and recording of any defects. We remediate sticky actuators, replace failed batteries and advise when vents need overhaul rather than endless temporary fixes. Maintenance can stand alone or sit inside a wider smoke-control contract. Multi-block portfolios benefit from scheduled rounds and consistent reporting for managing agents.
- ●Scheduled functional testing of vents and actuators
- ●Battery, panel and interface checks
- ●Defect reporting and fixed-price remedials
- ●Service certificates suitable for audits and insurers

AOV Maintenance FAQ
How often should AOVs be maintained?+
Many buildings test AOVs at least twice yearly as part of smoke-control maintenance, with additional checks after faults or building works — your fire strategy and manufacturer guidance set the exact interval.
What causes AOV failures between services?+
Common issues include weak batteries, stiff actuators, water ingress, debris in louvres and fire-alarm interface faults.
Can you maintain mixed manufacturer estates?+
Yes. Our engineers work across common AOV brands and document each vent clearly for agents.
