Fire Damper Servicing across the UK

An essential aspect of maintaining your building’s fire protection systems is Fire Damper Servicing. Fire dampers are passive fire protection devices that prevent the spread of fire and smoke through HVAC systems.

These can cause significant damage and put occupants’ lives at risk, so need to be addressed ASAP if faulty.

Therefore, regular maintenance, inspection, testing, and repair of fire dampers are crucial to ensure that they function correctly. The primary function of a fire damper is to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ducts, walls, and floors.

They are typically installed in the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system and are designed to close automatically when triggered by the fire alarm.

After the inspection, we perform fire damper testing to ensure that your dampers function correctly. We test each fire damper by simulating a fire scenario and measuring its response time and pressure. If any fire damper fails the test, we proceed with fire damper repair to fix the issue promptly.

The Importance of Fire Damper Servicing

Frequent inspections and testing by qualified technicians can help to ensure that fire dampers operate correctly and comply with local codes and regulations. Building owners and facility managers should prioritise the maintenance of fire dampers to ensure safety of everyone in the building.

Regular fire damper servicing not only ensures the safety of building occupants but also helps to maintain compliance with regulations. Many municipalities require regular inspections and testing of fire dampers as a condition of occupancy or for insurance purposes. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, penalties, or even the closure of the building.

In addition to annual inspections, The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that fire dampers be tested every four years. During testing, the damper is triggered by the fire alarm, and a technician verifies that it closes correctly and remains sealed. If the damper fails to close correctly, it should be repaired or replaced immediately.
