About Smoke Shaft AOV
Smoke shaft AOV systems clear smoke from stair cores and common routes so residents and firefighters can move more safely when an alarm is raised. Icomply installs, services and commissions smoke shaft automatic opening vents for apartment blocks and mixed-use buildings across Greater Manchester and the North West. Working to BS 9991 and EN 12101 practice, we check actuators, dampers, controls, interfaces with the fire alarm, and the paperwork your freeholder or managing agent needs for audit.
A typical smoke shaft AOV package includes shaft vents or dampers, roof or façade terminations where specified, control panels, manual call points or override facilities, and battery-backed power. We test cause-and-effect with the fire detection system so shafts open only in the correct fire scenarios. Planned maintenance keeps motors free, seals sound and controls reliable—essential on taller buildings where access is difficult. From Stockport we support new builds, refurbishments and reactive call-outs when a shaft fails to open or close on test.

Smoke Shaft AOV FAQ
How often should smoke shaft AOVs be serviced?+
Most blocks follow at least annual professional servicing plus regular functional checks under the building’s fire safety arrangements. We can align visits with your fire alarm PPM.
Can you work on occupied residential blocks?+
Yes. We plan access with managing agents, protect common areas and keep residents informed when shaft testing or plant-room work will create noise or temporary isolation.
Do you repair as well as install?+
We diagnose failed actuators, power supplies and control faults, supply suitable replacements where available, and re-commission the shaft path after remedial works.
