Graveney fire damper testing

Fire damper testing in Graveney: local notes

At about 2 miles from the coast, Graveney is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing. Graveney is covered by Kent 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. For Graveney, the closest hospital is Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, roughly 5.3 miles north-east. 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.

The nearest hospital, Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, is about 5.3 miles north-east; healthcare buildings like it are a reminder that dampers protect people who cannot move quickly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

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.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
