- Dampers clogged with dust or grease
- Dampers affected by leaks or condensation
- Fire damper items raised by an assessor
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Fire damper testing in Hunt's Green, done properly
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, and any that fail are listed with the reason. You end up with a clear record to keep with your fire safety documents. If you’re dealing with motorised smoke dampers due for testing and rusted damper blades and springs, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hunt's Green, fire dampers are usually found in a school, a care home, a hotel or a converted building, wherever there is one. Each damper still needs testing at least once a year.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by fire damper testing, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork crossing a fire wall with no damper fitted
- Approving the building’s fire strategy
- Faults in the alarm or building controls that signal smoke dampers
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Hunt's Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hunt's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hunt's Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Hunt's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hunt's Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospitals and care homes stay occupied around the clock. We plan the order of work with the site team to keep disruption to a minimum.
Access panels
A damper can only be tested if it can be reached. Most need an access panel in the duct and a hatch in the ceiling or wall.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Hunt's Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Signs you need fire damper testing in Hunt's Green
In most buildings, Hunt's Green included, dampers are out of sight in ceiling voids, risers and service shafts. If there’s no hatch to reach them, they slip off everyone’s list, and one that cannot be reached can’t be tested.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rusted damper blades and springs
- Motorised smoke dampers due for testing
- Buildings with no damper register
- Dampers that stick or will not close fully
Hospitals such as Chiltern Hospital, about 2.4 miles south, are a good example of buildings with dampers on many floors; if you manage a clinic, surgery or care home near Hunt's Green, the same annual testing applies.
