Fire and smoke damper testing in Mimbridge

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mimbridge

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.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Mimbridge buildings and fire safety

There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities and about 11 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) on the FSA’s food hygiene register in and around Mimbridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Buildings like these often have ducted ventilation, and wherever a duct crosses a fire-resisting wall or floor there should be a damper, tested at least once a year. Mimbridge sits within the area of Surrey 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. The nearest hospital to Mimbridge is Woking Community Hospital, about 2 miles south-east. Healthcare buildings rely on fire compartments to protect people who can’t easily move, and dampers keep those compartments sealed.

Hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital, about 2 miles south-east, are a good example of buildings with dampers on many floors; if you manage a clinic, surgery or care home near Mimbridge, the same annual testing applies. Historic houses near Mimbridge, with Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings can hold dampers in unexpected places.
