Theydon Garnon fire damper testing

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Leave it or put it right?

A sticking blade caught on an annual test can be a small repair. Years of corrosion and dirt can mean the whole damper needs replacing instead. A planned visit to Theydon Garnon is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Fire damper testing around Theydon Garnon

About 2.3 miles north of Theydon Garnon is St. Margaret's Hospital, the nearest hospital. Smaller healthcare sites, from surgeries to care homes, need the same annual damper test as a hospital. Theydon Garnon is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and keeping dampers working is part of the responsible person’s duty.

Healthcare buildings such as St. Margaret's Hospital (about 2.3 miles north) rely on fire compartments, and the dampers in them need testing at least annually. School buildings such as Theydon Bois Primary School are normally 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 (Hill Hall is about 1.2 miles east), finding every damper is the first job.
