Fire damper inspection in Strand-on-the-Green

Fire dampers in Strand-on-the-Green buildings

There are about 38 schools, colleges and universities, about 53 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises and about 10 hotels and B&Bs on the FSA’s food hygiene register within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Strand-on-the-Green. Buildings like these often have ducted ventilation, and wherever a duct crosses a fire-resisting wall or floor there should be a damper, tested at least once a year. The fire and rescue service for Strand-on-the-Green is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces and other non-domestic buildings, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Ceiling voids and risers in London buildings can hold many dampers, and each one has to be reached and recorded.

Kew Palace, about 0.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Strand-on-the-Green, and older buildings converted to new uses often have ventilation added later. The nearest hospital, Barnes Hospital, is about 1.5 miles south-east; healthcare buildings like it are a reminder that dampers protect people who can’t move quickly. Site managers at schools such as Strand-on-the-Green Infant and Nursery School normally find the summer break the easiest time for ceiling work like damper testing.

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
