From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Fire damper testing in Leaves Green, done properly
Testing finds the dampers that won’t close. When one sticks, has a damaged link or is corroded, we report it and offer remedials rather than leaving you with a problem and no fix. Typical jobs include buildings with no damper register and fire damper items raised by an assessor, across wall and floor dampers, riser dampers and offices and schools.
Many London buildings have been through several fit-outs, and dampers are often left behind new ceilings with no way to reach them. Locating each damper in a building in Leaves Green is the first part of a proper test.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price fire damper testing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Need a price for fire damper testing? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Why act early in Leaves Green
Faults found early are often simpler to put right. Years of corrosion and dirt can mean the whole damper needs replacing instead. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why Leaves Green businesses choose us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Leaves Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Leaves Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Leaves Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Leaves Green?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Leaves Green. Keep each damper test report with the fire risk assessment and the building’s log book, ready to show.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Whose job is it to make sure fire dampers are tested?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 puts it on the responsible person. Testing at least yearly and keeping the reports is how they can show it’s being done.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often should fire dampers be tested?
According to BESA guidance, dampers should be tested when they’re installed and then at least once a year. Spring-operated dampers need annual testing as a minimum.
Do you certify fire dampers?
After testing, we provide a report covering each damper, with its location, its result and any faults. It belongs in your fire safety log.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for a small number of dampers, longer where there are many. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Leaves Green saves time on the night.
- We gather what’s known about the dampers, from drawings, registers or past reports.
- Each damper is located and reached through its access panel.
- Every fire damper is dropped, and every smoke damper is tested through its controls.
- Each one that passes is reset, ready to work.
- The results go into a report, with failed dampers and remedials listed.
How to prepare
- 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
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What the work involves, part by part
Fusible link fire dampers
For dampers closed by a spring, BESA guidance is annual testing as a minimum. A weak spring or a sticking blade shows up when the damper is dropped.
Ceiling voids and risers
Many dampers sit above suspended ceilings. Ceiling tiles are lifted for access and replaced afterwards.
