THE Smoke Ventilation Cardiff

Smoke Ventilation Services Across Cardiff

Cardiff Bay’s transformation from disused docklands into a thriving waterfront district has brought a wave of residential towers and mixed-use developments, all requiring smoke ventilation systems engineered for multi-storey living. The city centre continues to grow upward with new high-rise residential and hotel projects that demand compliant smoke shaft systems, stairwell AOVs, and addressable control panels from the outset.

The Butetown regeneration programme and Atlantic Wharf redevelopment are delivering new housing alongside upgrades to existing social housing stock, where ageing smoke ventilation infrastructure needs replacing to meet current BS EN 12101 standards. Cardiff’s status as the Welsh capital means building regulations are enforced through Approved Document B alongside Welsh-specific guidance, and every system must satisfy both frameworks. Vent Trade supplies, installs, and commissions smoke ventilation systems across Cardiff and South Wales, providing next-day product delivery and SDI 19 certified for new-build installations and refurbishment projects.

Compliance Standards

All work is carried out in accordance with BS EN 12101, BS 7346, Approved Document B, and the Building Safety Act 2022. For high-rise residential buildings above 18 metres, we provide the detailed commissioning and handover records required for the golden thread of building safety information.
