Fire damper testing in Littlefield Green, done properly
Fire dampers sit inside ductwork where it passes through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Most are held open by a fusible link that melts at a set temperature, letting the blade drop and close the duct. Drop testing proves that this still happens, and we record the result for every damper we test. If you’re dealing with dirty dampers that may not close and smoke dampers that need testing through their controls, we can help.
Testing in a small place like Littlefield Green is planned around the journey and access, and the test itself is the same as in any city building.

What fire damper testing looks like in Littlefield Green
Littlefield Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Under the Fire Safety Order, the responsible person has to keep fire safety systems, dampers included, in working order, and the fire authority enforces that in most non-domestic premises. Littlefield Green’s nearest hospital, St Mark's Hospital, is about 3.3 miles north. Where patients or residents may need help to leave a building, working dampers matter all the more.
St Mark's Hospital, about 3.3 miles north of Littlefield Green, is the kind of building where dampers protect every compartment; smaller care sites need the same annual tests. If you manage a historic building in the area (Dorney Court is about 4.3 miles north-east), dampers fitted during conversions can be hard to reach and need recording.

What we are called out for in Littlefield Green
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has a duty to keep fire safety measures working, and dampers are part of those measures. Employers, owners, landlords and managing agents all need evidence that the dampers have been checked.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Dampers hidden with no access panel or hatch
- Fire dampers that haven’t been tested for over a year
- Rusted damper blades and springs
- Gaps in the fire damper test log
For schools like Holyport College, damper testing is easiest in the holidays, when corridors and ceilings are clear.

FAQs for Littlefield Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Littlefield Green?
Littlefield Green is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer audits the building, they may ask for the latest damper test records.
Can you work in Littlefield Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Littlefield Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What if a fire damper won’t close?
The failure goes on the report, along with what caused it, whether that’s a stuck blade, rust or a damaged link. We offer remedials to repair or replace it, and test it again afterwards.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will we get a certificate for the dampers?
The record we give you is a report of the tests for every damper on the visit. Any failures come with a note of the remedials needed.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a fire risk assessor
- Control wiring problems outside the damper itself
- Fire-stopping gaps around the duct where it passes through the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fusible link fire dampers
- Wall and floor dampers
- Motorised smoke dampers
- Offices and schools

What affects the cost of fire damper testing
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
