About Automatic Opening Vent Installation

Automatic opening vents are a core part of many natural smoke ventilation strategies. Our engineers survey shaft, stair and corridor arrangements, confirm vent sizes and free area requirements against your fire strategy, and install actuators, vents, weather controls and interfaces to the AOV panel and fire alarm cause-and-effect. Commissioning includes open/close timing, battery standby checks, manual override tests and certification-ready records. We also retrofit AOVs on existing blocks where older vents have failed or never performed correctly. Based in Stockport, Icomply supports landlords, developers, main contractors and FM teams with fixed-price quotes after survey and ongoing AOV service contracts.

Yes. We plan access, weather protection and temporary measures carefully, often working roof zones in controlled phases.
