Fire Damper Servicing in Poole

Certified HVAC Safety Specialists

Serving Dorset Since 2018

Accredited by BESA & SafeContractor

Fire Damper Inspections are a mandatory service to ensure your ductwork has dampers built in to stop fire and smoke spreading between compartments — and, crucially, check whether they actually close when they should.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, testing fire dampers isn't optional. It's typically annual, and you need proof for your fire risk assessment and insurer. Across Poole's offices, retail units, and industrial sites around Fleets Lane and Nuffield, most owners only find the gap when someone asks for records that don't exist.

ARM Environments performs fire damper tests, maintenance, and repairs for fire safety certification. We work around your hours, with a full post-inspection report within 2 weeks of completion.

What's involved in Fire Damper Servicing?

Our fire damper servicing follows a straightforward three-step process:

Initial Consultation: we review your building's ventilation layout, damper inventory (or help you build one if none exists), and any specific compliance concerns.
Inspection & Testing: we carry out a full visual and functional test of every damper, checking for obstructions, damage, corrosion and correct operation, in line with BS 9999 and DW145.
Detailed Reporting: you receive a full compliance report with photographic evidence, pass/fail status for each damper, and clear recommendations for any remedial work.

What are the Benefits of Fire Damper Servicing?

Regular fire damper servicing protects both the building and the people inside it. By keeping your dampers tested and maintained, you benefit from:

Compliance: meet BS 9999, DW145 and Building Regulations Approved Document B requirements
Fire & Smoke Containment: stop fire and smoke spreading between compartments
Insurance Confidence: documented evidence for insurers and fire safety officers
Reduced Liability: clear records for the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Did you know?

UK Fire and Rescue Services attended over 62,500 serious fires in a single year.

Fire dampers must be tested at least once every 12 months under BS 9999 and DW145 guidance, yet many buildings go years without inspection simply because access panels were never fitted or maintenance records were lost.
