Why deal with it now?

After any fire, one of the first questions is what maintenance had been done. A damper test log helps show the responsible person kept on top of things, and you can only produce records for tests that took place. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
