Fire and smoke damper testing in White Waltham

Fire damper testing in White Waltham: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register lists about 5 schools, colleges and universities and about 4 hospitals, care homes and childcare premises with registered kitchens or food service in and around White Waltham, up to about a mile and a half out. Schools, care settings and hotels are the kind of buildings where fire dampers are commonly found. About 2.6 miles north-east of White Waltham is St Mark's Hospital, the nearest hospital. A hospital is the kind of building where dampers sit on every floor, and clinics, surgeries and care homes need the same annual testing for any they have. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers White Waltham. 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.

If you manage a school site such as White Waltham CofE Academy, any fire dampers can be tested in the holidays. If you manage a historic building in the area (Dorney Court is about 4.6 miles east), dampers fitted during conversions can be hard to reach and need recording.

Part by part

Smoke dampers

Testing smoke dampers sometimes needs input from whoever looks after the control system. We agree the arrangements with you in advance.

Fusible link fire dampers

Most fire dampers are held open by a fusible link. When the link reaches its set temperature it melts, and the blade drops to close the duct. We release the blade, check it closes fully and reset it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in White Waltham

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
