- Gaps in the fire damper test log
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the damper register up to date after any building work
- Keep cables and fixings away from damper blades
- Keep to at least yearly testing
- Report leaks or condensation near ductwork quickly
After testing, you get a report listing each of the fire and smoke dampers we tested, with where it is and whether it passed. File it with your fire safety log so it’s to hand for assessors and insurers.
The simplest way to avoid failures is to test on time, every year. Faults caught early are easier to fix.
How we handle fire damper testing in Froxfield Green
Fire dampers sit inside ductwork where it passes through a fire-resisting wall or floor. A fusible link holds the blade open until heat melts it, and the blade then drops to shut the duct. Drop testing proves that this still happens, and every result is written down, damper by damper. Common call-outs are for smoke dampers that need testing through their controls and fire dampers nobody can get to, on fusible link fire dampers, wall and floor dampers and offices and schools.
Rural buildings that have been converted or extended can have ducts passing through fire-resisting walls, and the dampers in them are easily forgotten. The first visit starts by locating each damper.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Questions from Froxfield Green
Do you work in villages like Froxfield Green?
Yes. Froxfield Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Froxfield Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Froxfield Green is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A report listing every damper, its location and its result is the easiest way to show the dampers are maintained.
Will we get a certificate for the dampers?
You get a test report recording every damper we tested, with its location, its result and any faults. It belongs in your fire safety log.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you fix fire dampers that fail?
The failure goes on the report, along with what caused it, whether that is a stuck blade, rust or a damaged link. Remedials are offered, either a repair or a replacement damper, and it’s tested again once the work is done.
How much time does a damper test visit need?
A visit takes anything from a couple of hours for a handful of dampers to a full day for a large building. Bigger sites can be phased, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How we price fire damper testing
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
