Why Sertus

We create smoke ventilation systems.

Our work saves lives. We take it very seriously but we're down to earth, too.

Safety is our first priority.

It’s important to tell you that we’ll always uphold fire safety standards, even if that means we don’t win the job. Whilst we’ll seek to educate and advise, we will never work on a project if unsafe fire safety practices are used. That’s why you can trust us to deliver a no-shortcuts, compliant system.

Our fantastic team.

See Everybody

A bit about the company.

Where we came from

As we were founded in January 2019, we might sound quite youthful. However, we’ve been around for a while!

Sertus was part of the Whitesales Group, a construction supplies company founded in the mid-1980s by Michael White.

During the 2000s, we saw an opportunity to broaden the range of products that we sold to our clients and to help drive positive change in the smoke ventilation area of fire safety.

We're now an independent company, wholly focussed on smoke ventilation.

1983

Michael White formed Whitesales, a company selling daylight solutions to the construction industry.

2013

Whitesales become the first company in the UK to receive CE certification for smoke vents.

2019

Sertus is formed as a standalone smoke ventilation company to better serve the industry.
