Guide ranges for supply & fit; controls and commissioning by a smoke-control specialist. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Covering BT71 and neighbouring districts
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Dungannon that means postcode districts BT71, BT70 and BT69, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Portadown, about 14 miles away, or Craigavon at roughly 16 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
What the job includes
- Old vent removed with the stairwell kept protected below
- New vent fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof
- Existing vent, actuator and upstand surveyed with the specialist
- Certified as a system — We only fit smoke vents that are certified to BS EN 12101-2.
- Free area at the stair head — We check the free area the vent must provide before choosing a replacement.
From arrival to clean-up
On the day, you need to be in at the start and at the end. In between, the fitters get on with it. They will want the room below cleared where possible, a parking spot if you have one, and somewhere to set the unit down safely. After checking the opening and the upstand or flashing, they fix a smoke vent rooflight, seal it and finish the inside. Packaging and any old unit leave with them unless the quote says otherwise.
Planning and building rules in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, smoke vents must be certified products that keep the free area the building's fire strategy requires, with controls connected and commissioned by a smoke-control specialist. The Technical Booklets and building control set the detailed requirement, and we confirm it before quoting.
Details that speed up your quote
What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around BT71 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Dungannon
Do commercial rooflights need planning permission?
Like-for-like replacements on commercial buildings rarely need planning permission. New or larger rooflights on non-domestic buildings and blocks of flats usually need checking with the planning authority, because householder permitted development rights don't apply. We tell you what we know about your building and point you to the right team.
Who is responsible for the smoke-control system?
The building's responsible person, duty holder or managing agent, depending on the nation, is responsible for keeping fire safety systems working. Our part is the rooflight and roof work; the controls, detection and commissioning are handled by a smoke-control specialist, and the quote says who does what.
Will my new smoke vent rooflight leak?
A correctly fitted unit should not. Leaks usually trace back to the detail around the frame: an upstand that is too low, a membrane or flashing that is not dressed properly, sealant applied to a damp surface, or water ponding against the kerb. We fit to the maker's instructions and check each of those points. The fitting carries a written workmanship guarantee, with its terms set out on your quote.
