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 warrant fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Is your address covered?
Jobs across DG9 are part of our normal cover for Stranraer. We are not an office on the high street. Our fitting teams come out to the property from wherever they are working that week. Neighbouring places such as Ayr and Irvine are covered on the same terms, so a house on the edge of town is no harder to book than one in the centre.
What the job includes
- Old vent removed with the stairwell kept protected below
- Controls, detection and wiring handled by the smoke-control specialist
- Commissioning and sign-off carried out by the specialist before handover
- Certified as a system — We only fit smoke vents that are certified to BS EN 12101-2.
- Upstand and weathering — We check the upstand suits the new vent and that the roof around it is sound.
How a fitting day runs
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 Scotland
In Scotland, smoke ventilation is covered by the domestic or non-domestic Technical Handbook, depending on the building. Vents must be certified products, keep the required free area, and be connected and commissioned by a smoke-control specialist. A building warrant is needed where the system is altered.
Help us quote accurately
Each detail you send takes a question off our list. Photos inside and out show the opening and the ceiling. Rough measurements tell us the unit size. The roof covering tells us how it will be sealed in. Access notes tell us whether a tower or scaffold is needed. A product link, if you have one, lets us check it against the opening. Your postcode, DG9 or nearby, confirms travel.
Common questions in Stranraer
Do you cover Stranraer?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Stranraer and the surrounding districts, including DG9. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.
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.
What is included in the price?
The written quote lists it line by line. Typically that covers fitting labour, fixings, sealants, membrane or flashing materials, any upstand work, internal finishing if agreed, and taking away the waste. For supply and fit, the unit itself is included too. Scaffold, lifting gear and any third-party fees, where needed, are shown separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
