Smoke vent rooflight installation in Devon

No two smoke vent rooflights in Devon cost exactly the same to fit, and a guide price only gets you so far. What moves it: the size and weight of the unit, whether a new opening is needed, the roof covering, scaffold or lifting needs, and how much internal finishing you want. We quote smoke vent rooflight installation across Devon with each of those spelt out. Send photos for a first figure, or arrange a survey where the job calls for one.

Towns we list in Devon

Builders and roofers working in Devon can use us for the rooflight element of a job, wherever the site is in England. Homeowners can book us directly. In both cases the fitters come to the address, the work follows the maker's instructions, and a written quote fixes the price first. Fitting is carried out by vetted teams under S&K's direction.

Included in the work

  • Controls, detection and wiring handled by the smoke-control specialist
  • Upstand checked, adapted or rebuilt to the vent maker's drawing
  • New vent fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof
  • 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.

Rules that apply in England

A replacement smoke vent in England has to keep the free area and performance the building's fire strategy relies on, using a vent certified to BS EN 12101-2 with its actuator and backup power. We fit the vent and do the roof work; a smoke-control specialist connects and commissions the controls, and we confirm whether building control needs to be notified.

Common questions in Devon

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.

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.

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.
