Fire Damper Testing in Shipbourne

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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’re happy to quote for all of it.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

Fire damper testing around Shipbourne

Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 3 schools, colleges and universities serving food within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shipbourne. Larger buildings like these are often divided into fire compartments, with dampers where ducts pass between them. For Shipbourne, the closest hospital is Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, roughly 4.8 miles south. A hospital is the kind of building where dampers sit on every floor, and clinics, surgeries and care homes need the same annual testing for any they have. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Shipbourne. 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.

Ightham Mote, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Shipbourne, and older buildings converted to new uses often have ventilation added later. Tonbridge Cottage Hospital, about 4.8 miles south of Shipbourne, is the kind of building where dampers protect every compartment; smaller care sites need the same annual tests.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
