Fire and smoke damper testing in Martyr Worthy

- Dampers overdue for their annual drop test
- Smoke dampers with no recent test
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Fire damper testing in Martyr Worthy, done properly
Plenty of buildings have dampers nobody has looked at since they were fitted. Ceilings get lowered, hatches get boarded over and paperwork goes astray. We locate and test the dampers we can reach and record the ones we cannot, so you know where the gaps are. If you are dealing with motorised smoke dampers due for testing and dampers overdue for their annual drop test, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Martyr Worthy, there may be only a few buildings with fire dampers. Each damper still needs testing at least once a year.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a couple of hours for a handful of dampers to a full day for a large building. In a small place like Martyr Worthy, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We gather what’s known about the dampers, from drawings, registers or past reports.
- We find every damper and open it up through the access panel.
- Fire dampers are drop tested and smoke dampers are run through their controls.
- Each one that passes is reset, ready to work.
- You get a report listing each damper, its result and any remedials needed.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Martyr Worthy: your questions answered
Can the work in Martyr Worthy be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Martyr Worthy can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Martyr Worthy?
Fire safety enforcement in Martyr Worthy is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Keep each damper test report with the fire risk assessment and the building’s log book, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you test motorised smoke dampers?
Yes. We test smoke dampers through their control system, as they’re motor driven. We check every blade moves fully and record the outcome.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What if a damper has no access panel?
It goes on the report as inaccessible, with the reason. We can fit an access panel so it’s tested on the next visit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Why deal with it now?
Testing every year builds a history for each damper, which shows patterns early. A damper that was slow last year and sticks this year tells you something before it becomes a failure. It’s simpler to plan the work at Martyr Worthy now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Smoke dampers
Because they’re linked to controls, smoke damper tests can need some coordination. We plan that with you before the visit.
Ceiling voids and risers
Plant rooms and risers can be damp, which leads to corrosion. We note any rust or water damage on the report so the cause can be tackled.
