What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. 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 anything from a couple of hours for a handful of dampers to a full day for a large building. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Stoneleigh, so let us know how to reach it.
- First we look at any damper register, drawings or earlier test reports.
- Each damper is located and reached through its access panel.
- Fire dampers are drop tested and smoke dampers are run through their controls.
- We reset every damper that passes and check it’s left open.
- We report on every damper, with faults and suggested remedials set out.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Fire damper testing in Stoneleigh, done properly
Plenty of buildings have dampers nobody has looked at since they were fitted. Ceilings get lowered, hatches get boarded over and paperwork goes astray. We locate and test the dampers we can reach and record the ones we cannot, so you know where the gaps are. Typical jobs include corroded dampers in damp risers and plant rooms and fire dampers with no recent test record, across wall and floor dampers, motorised smoke dampers and fusible link fire dampers.
Buildings around Stoneleigh may have just a handful of dampers, and each still needs an annual drop test at least, with the result recorded.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the quote in Stoneleigh
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What the work involves, part by part
Smoke dampers
Smoke dampers are motorised and run by a control system. Testing means operating them from the controls to confirm the blade moves all the way.
Offices and retail
In offices and retail units, dampers tend to be hidden above working areas. We can test in the evening, overnight or at weekends so the space stays open.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Designing the building’s fire compartments
- Missing dampers that a designer needs to specify
- Fire alarm or control system faults behind a smoke damper
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Riser dampers
- Motorised smoke dampers
- Offices and schools
- Hospitals and care homes
- Wall and floor dampers
- Fusible link fire dampers
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Close off damper faults promptly
- Keep the damper register up to date after any building work
- Make sure access panels stay clear and usable
- Report leaks or condensation near ductwork quickly
Put the next test in the diary within twelve months. BESA guidance is at least annual testing, and booking the same month each year keeps it simple.
Keep a damper register: where each damper is, what kind it is and when it was last tested. It stops dampers getting lost as the building changes.
Why deal with it now?
If a damper cannot close, the wall it sits in has a hole in it during a fire. Everything else about the compartment can be right and the duct still lets it down. Testing now is how you find out before it matters. In a smaller place like Stoneleigh, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Stoneleigh: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Stoneleigh?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stoneleigh keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Stoneleigh?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stoneleigh included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does fire damper testing cost in Stoneleigh?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What if a damper has no access panel?
The report lists each inaccessible damper and where it is so nothing is quietly missed. An access panel tends to solve it, and we can quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

What fire damper testing looks like in Stoneleigh
Going by the FSA’s register, there are about 25 schools, colleges and universities and about 33 caring premises (care homes, nurseries and hospitals) serving food within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoneleigh. Schools, care settings and hotels are the kind of buildings where fire dampers are commonly found. St. Ebba's Hospital is the nearest hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west of Stoneleigh. Where patients or residents may need help to leave a building, working dampers matter all the more. Fire safety in Stoneleigh falls to 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.
Healthcare buildings such as St. Ebba's Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west) rely on fire compartments, and the dampers in them need testing at least annually. For schools like Auriol Junior School, damper testing is easiest in the holidays, when corridors and ceilings are clear. For managed buildings around Stoneleigh station, damper testing can be booked out of hours so tenants are not disturbed.
