Fire damper inspection in Hatton

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Where residents cannot easily get out, holding fire and smoke back matters even more. Annual damper testing is part of keeping that in place.
Offices and retail
Fit-outs and tenant changes are hard on dampers. Testing after a fit-out shows whether anything was disturbed.
Fire damper testing in Hatton
For every damper, we record where it is, whether it passed and the state it’s in. Passes are reset and left ready to work, while failures are flagged with what we found. That record belongs with the building’s fire safety paperwork. Common call-outs are for smoke dampers with no recent test and missing or out-of-date damper records, across riser dampers, wall and floor dampers and hospitals and care homes.
Damper testing in London buildings is normally planned around the people in them, so it’s often done out of hours or one zone at a time. We agree access to ceilings, risers and plant rooms with the building before work begins.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a couple of hours for a few dampers, and a day or more across a big site. In Hatton, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We plan access and timing with you first, including any out-of-hours work.
- We open up ceilings and hatches and take off each access panel.
- We release each blade and check it shuts all the way.
- The damper is reset and its condition noted.
- We close everything up and send the results in a report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

FAQs for Hatton
Can you test school fire dampers in Hatton out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hatton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does London parking affect a job in Hatton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hatton makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Who is responsible for fire damper testing?
It sits with the building’s responsible person. That’s often the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent. Our part is the testing and the records that show it’s been done.
Why deal with it now?
A damper that’s stuck open gives fire and smoke a route straight through a fire-resisting wall. Everything else about the compartment can be right and the duct still lets it down. It’s far better to find that out on a test than in a fire. A booked night’s work in Hatton costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Fire damper testing in Hatton: local notes
Food Standards Agency data includes about 13 schools, colleges and universities, about 16 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 19 hotels and B&Bs in Hatton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. If any of them has ducted ventilation, its dampers need an annual drop test at least. In a London building, dampers are often spread across floors and risers, and testing is usually planned out of hours. Hatton’s nearest hospital, Harlington, is about 1.9 miles north-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.
Historic buildings that have had ventilation added later can hide dampers in awkward places; Osterley House, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the area around Hatton. A school like Cranford Primary School can have any dampers tested over half-term without disturbing lessons. If you manage a care home or clinic near Hatton, the testing that a hospital like Harlington (about 1.9 miles north-west) relies on applies to your dampers too.
