Fire damper inspection in Riddlesdown

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Fire damper testing in Riddlesdown: local notes

There are about 19 schools, colleges and universities and about 70 care, childcare and hospital premises on the FSA’s food hygiene register in Riddlesdown and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Larger buildings like these are often divided into fire compartments, with dampers where ducts pass between them. About 1 mile north-west of Riddlesdown is Purley War Memorial Hospital, the nearest hospital. Smaller healthcare sites, from surgeries to care homes, need the same annual damper test as a hospital. Managed London buildings typically need damper testing booked through the agent, often out of hours.

School buildings such as Harris Primary Academy Kenley are typically tested in the holidays, wherever they have dampers. If you manage an older building converted to a hotel or venue, like many historic houses in the area (Addington Palace is about 3 miles north-east), finding every damper is the first job.
