The Challenge

Delivering compliant, high-performance smoke ventilation in a premium automotive environment.

When Jaguar Land Rover commissioned a new London showroom, the brief called for a mechanical smoke ventilation strategy that provided full life-safety protection while maintaining the aesthetic and acoustic quality expected of a luxury brand.

Ambivent Facilities Management, the project’s specialist M&E contractor, required a certified, modular solution that could integrate into a complex building layout without delaying programme timelines. Sertus was appointed to design, manufacture, and supply mechanical smoke ventilation products that combined compliance, reliability, and rapid deployment – protecting both occupants and valuable assets within the showroom.

Ambivent FM are building services specialists with extensive experience in mechanical, electrical, and smoke control systems for complex commercial environments. Their reputation for precision, reliability, and high-standard delivery made them the ideal partner for this flagship project.

Working with Sertus has been a game-changer for us. Their mechanical smoke ventilation products provided unparalleled performance and reliability, perfectly aligning with the high standards of our showroom projects.
