Fire damper testing in Bow, Greater London

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bow

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Bow buildings and fire safety

There are about 65 schools, colleges and universities, about 45 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) and about 17 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bow. Schools, care settings and hotels are the kind of buildings where fire dampers are commonly found. Bow sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces and other non-domestic buildings, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Managed London buildings typically need damper testing booked through the agent, often out of hours.

Wherever there are offices above shops, near Hackney Wick station or elsewhere in Bow, ductwork may cross fire-resisting floors, and any dampers need testing. School buildings such as Old Ford Primary - A Paradigm Academy are usually tested in the holidays, wherever they have dampers. If you manage a historic building in the area (Sutton House is about 1.6 miles north-west), dampers fitted during conversions can be hard to reach and need recording.
