Fire damper testing in Brunswick Park, done properly
Some dampers haven’t been tested since the day they went in. Ceilings have gone up, access panels have been covered or lost, and the records have gone missing. We find what we can, test what we can reach and list anything we can’t get to, so you know where the gaps are. If you’re dealing with dampers affected by leaks or condensation and smoke dampers that need testing through their controls, we can help.
Many London buildings have been through several fit-outs, and dampers are often left behind new ceilings with no way to reach them. In Brunswick Park, as across London, finding every damper and recording its access is part of the job.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a few dampers, and a day or more across a big site. In Brunswick Park, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we look at any damper register, drawings or earlier test reports.
- Each damper is located and reached through its access panel.
- Fire dampers are drop tested and smoke dampers are run through their controls.
- Each one that passes is reset, ready to work.
- We report on every damper, with faults and suggested remedials set out.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Brunswick Park: your questions answered
Can you come to Brunswick Park after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brunswick Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Brunswick Park is handled by London Fire Brigade. A report listing every damper, its location and its result is the easiest way to show the dampers are maintained.
What happens to dampers you can’t get to?
It goes on the report as inaccessible, with the reason. We can fit an access panel so the damper can be tested next time.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often does BESA say fire dampers should be tested?
BESA guidance calls for testing by a competent person at least once a year. A test on completion of installation comes first.
How much does fire damper testing cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How we price fire damper testing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brunswick Park
Testing every year builds a history for each damper, which shows patterns early. A damper that was slow last year and sticks this year tells you something long before it fails outright. A busy site in Brunswick Park builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brunswick Park and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Fire damper testing around Brunswick Park

Healthcare buildings rely on fire compartments to protect people who cannot easily move, and dampers keep those compartments sealed.
Historic houses near Brunswick Park, with Bruce Castle about 3.6 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings can hold dampers in unexpected places. Healthcare buildings such as Coppetts Wood Hospital (about 1.7 miles south) rely on fire compartments, and the dampers in them need testing at least annually.

How the job changes from site to site
Smoke dampers
Because they’re linked to controls, smoke damper tests can need some coordination. We plan that with you before the visit.
Ceiling voids and risers
Damp plant areas are hard on dampers. We note any rust or water damage on the report so it can be dealt with.
