How we handle fire damper testing in Trumps Green
Wherever a duct crosses a fire-resisting wall or floor, there should be a fire damper inside it. Most are held open by a fusible link that melts at a set temperature, letting the blade drop and close the duct. Drop testing proves that this still happens, and we record the result for every damper we test. The work covers offices and schools, riser dampers and motorised smoke dampers, and common reasons people get in touch are dust or grease build-up on damper blades and corroded dampers in damp risers and plant rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Trumps Green, there may be only a few buildings with fire dampers. Wherever there are dampers, each one needs testing at least annually.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Fire dampers in Trumps Green buildings
The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens or food service within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Trumps Green. Larger buildings like these are often divided into fire compartments, with dampers where ducts pass between them. Trumps Green is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic buildings, and that covers fire safety systems such as dampers. Trumps Green’s nearest hospital, St. Peter's Hospital, is about 2.3 miles south-east. Hospitals are a good example of a building with fire dampers across many floors and departments.
If you look after a building near Virginia Water station with a fire risk assessment due, a damper test with a full record is worth having first. If you manage an older building converted to a hotel or venue, like many historic houses in the area (Botleys Mansion is about 2.2 miles south-east), finding every damper is the first job.

Questions from Trumps Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Trumps Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Trumps Green is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer audits the building, they may ask for the latest damper test records.
Can fire dampers in schools around Trumps Green be tested in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Trumps Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is Trumps Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Trumps Green included.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t let anything obstruct a damper’s blade
- File every damper report where your assessor can find it
- Close off damper faults promptly
- Book the next test before the year runs out
Pass the report to whoever keeps your fire risk assessment up to date, so the assessment reflects where the dampers stand. Faults on the report are worth closing off quickly.
Make sure every damper can be reached. If a damper has no access panel, have one fitted before the next test.
Part by part
Ceiling voids and risers
Risers and service shafts often hold dampers at each floor. Testing goes floor by floor so each one is accounted for.
Access panels
Where there’s no access panel, we record the damper as not tested and say why. We can fit access panels so it’s tested next time.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price fire damper testing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes from an hour or two in a small building to several visits on a large estate. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Trumps Green.
- First we check the schedule and the last set of results.
- We locate every damper and note any we can’t reach.
- We test fire dampers by dropping them and smoke dampers by operating them through the controls.
- Passes are reset and any failures recorded with the reason.
- We report the results and offer remedials on failed dampers.
Preparing for the visit

- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
