Manual Window Openers A manual system would be a natural ventilation system you would use by hand, this can either be operated by a remote handle, an opener pole or a cord and the best choice depends on your specific application.
Electric Window Actuators For us electric window openers, also known as electric actuators are more popular than manual systems, there are a range of products to suit various applications.
When specifying electric there are various control options such as rocker switch, key switch, remote control, temperature control and rain sensors
AOV System (Automatic Opening Vent) & Smoke Ventilation Systems If you are looking for an Automatic Opening Smoke Vent (AOV system) and smoke control systems, get in touch with our experienced team today and we can have automatic smoked vents (aov vent) installed for your protection. Here at Rocburn Limited, we're passionate about making both domestic and commercial buildings as safe as possible, and we pride ourselves in fitting the best smoke ventilation systems around. In commercial buildings and multi-occupancy buildings, there is a requirement by law to keep escape routes clear and free from smoke to enable both occupants to escape and to allow fire brigade access. Our smoke ventilation systems are governed by standards such as BS EN12101 and Approved Document B, and they are discreet systems that do not impede access or exit routes.
Electric Window Openers We offer a range of electric window openers, automatic window openers, single chain openers, twin chain openers for larger windows requiring two push points and linear actuators for rooflites and large heavy windows.

With the rising house prices and the cost of moving home, many of our customers have decided to add space and value to their homes by adding an extension. This video is of our Kato KS30/40 actuators fitted to a roof vent in a kitchen / family room. These are both being controlled automatically by our MB08 temperature control panel and rain sensor kit.

Great service from this company. Matt Boyd is the name you want. I needed a replacement window opener, and the ones on the Rocburn website looked right. So I emailed photos of my faulty one, and Matt suggested which one would do the trick, with advice about installing it. So I ordered that one. Then Matt went the extra mile, when the courier failed to deliver on the promised date, by emailing me to explain.

That made me feel special, and not just another sale. Anyway, it was easy to install, and now we can open the roof vent in our conservatory on a hot day again! Five stars plus plus plus!

After purchasing a vent opener for my new lantern roof I had problems with the actual functioning of the opener. The technical team and especially Matt Boyd could not be more helpful in providing solutions to resolve the problem. This ranged from verbal instructions over the phone to a comprehensive check of the control unit they had provided, back at the factory.

From a verbal description of the wiring to the unit Matt diagnosed that the fault lie with the electrician who had installed are unit and sent detailed instructions on how he should resolve it. I cannot recommend Rocburn highly enough on their product knowledge and customer support. Thank you.

Went in today for some help with a Necos problem and despite it being nearly closing time Ben took the trouble to check out my unit and then show it to me working and ready for it to be reinstalled. Great Support

Hi James, Thanks so much for your great customer service. My builders misplaced the brackets for my motors and being the great company you are you sent me out a new set free of charge with next day delivery. With all the stresses of having your house rebuilt it's a breath of fresh air to have a great home grown company like Rocburn with a personal service to be flexible to do this for me. I highly recommend this company for all your verilux needs. Much appreciated James, keep up the good work. Thanks.

From my initial enquiry, Adam knew exactly what I needed for an all inclusive smoke vent kit. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly. Also, their prices are very competitive as I compared with a good few competitors. They were also much more engaging than the other companies i spoke with. Adam was very patient and understood the complexities of installing this type of product and spent a significant amount of time talking me and my guys through the correct installation process / procedures. I cannot rate them highly enough and very much appreciate Adam for all he did to get this window operational.

Rocburn have been absolutely brilliant. I decided to take my TV lift motor out of storage only to realise that many parts had gone missing. I spoke and dealt with Adam and James. I must say they went beyond the call of duty. They got to task sourcing parts that were not typically for sale individually out of a package and were able to get back to me in a reasonable time. The team were more than happy to discuss ways I could save money and, furthermore, were happy to advise me on how to complete my project! Thank you

I have purchased a window opening actuator from Rocburn as a direct replacement for one which had failed on our conservatory. Having researched several companies Rocburn were by far the best on price and delivered the product to me in double quick time! On receipt, however, I soon discovered that whoever had fitted the original had made a number of 'modifications' and the replacement did not fit well!

The guys at Rocburn are great, and with a couple of phone calls and pictures to show the problem it was explained what the solution was and extra parts were in the post! We now have a fully functioning automatic roof vent. Thank you James and Adam. Great service, I wish everyone that I have to deal with was as good.

Rocburn's staff have been excellent in helping me choose, install and calibrate the actuator for my roof vent. They even took the trouble to email me photographs to illustrate my mounting options and then speak to me on the telephone to talk me through set up. Outstanding service.

Really good service from the first enquiry to technical advise. Quite new to the AOV market but Matt was helpful all the way from suggesting the correct actuator to advise on standards. Would happily use them again for future projects.

So pleased with the advice and service I got from these guys when ordering & installing motors and programmer for two conservatory rooflights that I bought another (slightly different, on Rocburn's advice) kit for three Velux windows in our kitchen. Electrician came yesterday and fitted them saying these were an "even easier" install! Many thanks to Adam & Ben at Rocburn. A brilliant company with old style customer service!!!
