Fire damper testing in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Fire dampers in Bourne End buildings

Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities and about 14 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) registered as food businesses across Bourne End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Schools, care settings and hotels are the kind of buildings where fire dampers are commonly found. Fire safety in Bourne End falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Under the Fire Safety Order, the responsible person has to keep fire safety systems, dampers included, in working order, and the fire authority enforces that in most non-domestic premises. Bourne End’s nearest hospital, Marlow Community Hospital, is about 2.6 miles west. A hospital is the kind of building where dampers sit on every floor, and clinics, surgeries and care homes need the same annual testing for any they have.

For schools like Wye Valley School, damper testing is easiest in the holidays, when corridors and ceilings are clear. If you manage an older building converted to a hotel or venue, like many historic houses in the area (Cliveden is about 1.7 miles south-east), finding every damper is the first job.
