Fire Damper Testing in High Wycombe

What staff can safely do

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What happens if it’s left?

A damper that’s stuck open gives fire and smoke a route straight through a fire-resisting wall. The rest of the compartment can be built perfectly and still be bypassed by the duct. It’s far better to find that out on a test than in a fire. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Fire damper testing in High Wycombe: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 29 schools, colleges and universities, about 32 care, childcare and hospital premises and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses with registered kitchens or food service within about 1.5 miles of central High Wycombe. Schools, care settings and hotels are the kind of buildings where fire dampers are commonly found. High Wycombe is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic buildings, and that covers fire safety systems such as dampers. High Wycombe’s nearest hospital, Hospital of St John the Baptist, is about less than half a mile south-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.

Hospital of St John the Baptist, about within half a mile south-east of High Wycombe, is the kind of building where dampers protect every compartment; smaller care sites need the same annual tests. If you manage an older building converted to a hotel or venue, like many historic houses in the area (Hughenden Manor is about 1.5 miles north), finding every damper is the first job.
