The failure to maintain smoke ventilation systems can be dire, because whilst fire grabs more headlines, smoke is the real killer. In fact, more than twice as many people die from smoke inhalation than they do from burns. Often smoke incapacitates so rapidly that victims are unable to make it to an otherwise accessible exit.
That’s why you need the UK’s No. 1 for smoke control system maintenance.
Our expertise
Having pioneered smoke control in the 1930s and with over 70 years of service experience, Colt is the U.K.’s leading provider of smoke control and ventilation maintenance.
Smoke is different to fire
Using a fire security company to look after your smoke ventilation systems can be dangerous. Smoke control needs specific maintenance from specialist engineers.
Are your systems safe?
