Fire damper testing for kitchens and businesses in Pyrford Village
Not every damper relies on heat. Smoke dampers are motorised and are opened and closed by a control system, so testing means running them through their controls and confirming every blade travels fully and comes back. If you’re dealing with rusted damper blades and springs and dirty dampers that may not close, we can put it right, from motorised smoke dampers, fusible link fire dampers and riser dampers onwards.
Testing in a small place like Pyrford Village is planned around the journey and access, and the test itself is the same as in any city building.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need fire damper testing in Pyrford Village?
The law puts a duty on the responsible person to keep fire safety systems, dampers included, in working order. Employers, owners, landlords and managing agents all need evidence that the dampers have been checked.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Smoke dampers that need testing through their controls
- Gaps in the fire damper test log
- Dampers hidden with no access panel or hatch
- Corroded dampers in damp risers and plant rooms
If you manage a school site such as Pyrford Church of England Primary School, any fire dampers can be tested in the holidays.

How the job changes from site to site
Fusible link fire dampers
Most fire dampers are held open by a fusible link. Heat melts the link and the blade falls shut across the duct. We release the blade, check it closes fully and reset it.
Access panels
Access panels sometimes get painted over, screwed shut or hidden by new ceilings. Clear access makes the test quicker and less disruptive.
Pyrford Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Pyrford Village?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pyrford Village included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Pyrford Village?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who is responsible for fire damper testing?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 puts it on the responsible person. Annual testing by a competent person, with written records, is a practical way to show the duty is being met.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File every damper report where your assessor can find it
- Warn anyone working in ceiling voids about the dampers
- Act on failed dampers rather than leaving them on file
- Keep cables and fixings away from damper blades
When we finish, we send a report covering every damper on the visit, with its location and its result. File it with your fire safety log so it’s ready when your assessor or insurer asks.
A simple register of every damper helps a great deal: location, type, last test date and result. It stops dampers getting lost as the building changes.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s 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 a morning or an afternoon for a small number of dampers, longer where there are many. The timing of a visit to Pyrford Village is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We gather what’s known about the dampers, from drawings, registers or past reports.
- Dampers are located one by one and reached through their access panels.
- Fire dampers are drop tested and smoke dampers are run through their controls.
- Each one that passes is reset, ready to work.
- We report on every damper, with faults and suggested remedials set out.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
