We provide professional fire damper inspection and testing services across Scotland & Northern England, ensuring your systems meet the highest safety and compliance standards.

Under the Fire Act 2005, the Fire Safety Regulations 2006, and guidance such as BS 9999, all fire dampers must be regularly tested and maintained to ensure they operate effectively in the event of a fire. This is a legal requirement for building owners, managers, and duty holders.

Our certified engineers carry out thorough inspections, operational testing, and cleaning where necessary. We supply detailed reports for your fire safety records—helping you stay fully compliant while protecting your building and its occupants.

Steps in Fire Damper Testing:

1. Visual inspection to check for dust, debris, damage, or paint over fusible links   .

2. Carry out the drop test by manually releasing the fusible link and ensuring the damper closes properly   .

3. Reset the damper (reinstall fusible link) and verify that it returns to normal operation   .

4. Clean, lubricate, and maintain moving parts to ensure smooth operation   .

5. Document results, including date, inspector name, any deficiencies and corrective actions
