Fire Damper Servicing Explained

Inside the ductwork of most commercial buildings sits a component few people ever see: the fire damper. It is designed to close automatically in a fire, stopping flames and smoke spreading through the ventilation system. When it works, it saves lives. When it fails, the consequences can be serious.

Why servicing is required

Fire dampers must be inspected and tested at regular intervals as part of your building's fire safety obligations. A damper that has seized, corroded or jammed open offers no protection at all, which is why drop testing is so important.

What a service involves

• Locating and accessing each fire damper in the system.
• Drop testing to confirm the damper closes and resets correctly.
• Cleaning, lubrication and minor remedial works where needed.
• Documented certification to support your fire risk assessment.
