How we handle fire damper testing in Keeper's Corner
Responsible persons, facilities managers and managing agents call us when damper testing falls due in Keeper's Corner. If there’s a damper register or a set of drawings, share it with us, and we will plan the testing around when the building is in use. The work covers offices and schools, fusible link fire dampers and riser dampers, and the jobs we see most are smoke dampers that need testing through their controls and fire dampers with no recent test record.
Testing in a small place like Keeper's Corner is planned around the journey and access, and every damper is drop tested, reset and recorded, the same as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Keeper's Corner
Which fire service covers Keeper's Corner?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A report listing every damper, its location and its result is the easiest way to show the dampers are maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Keeper's Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does fire damper testing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store test records alongside the fire risk assessment
- Fix water leaks in plant rooms and risers promptly
- Close off damper faults promptly
- Never wedge or tie a damper open
When we finish, we send a report covering every damper on the visit, with where it is and whether it passed. Keep it with the building’s fire safety records so it’s ready when your assessor or insurer asks.
Keep a damper register: location, type, last test date and result. It stops dampers getting lost as the building changes.
Part by part
Ceiling voids and risers
Risers and service shafts often hold dampers at each floor. Testing goes floor by floor so nothing is missed.
Fusible link fire dampers
The common fire damper uses a link that holds the blade open. Heat melts the link and the blade falls shut across the duct. We release the blade, check it closes fully and reset it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Dampers that were never installed where they’re needed
- Fire alarm or control system faults behind a smoke damper
- Holes around ductwork in fire-resisting walls
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fusible link fire dampers

Why act early in Keeper's Corner
An untested damper is an unknown. A test gives you a clear answer, and we can offer remedials for any that fail, which is far easier to plan for. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
