Fire Damper Servicing in Salisbury

Salisbury's building stock is a study in contrasts: a historic cathedral city centre of period office conversions and independent retail, ringed by industrial estates at Churchfields and Old Sarum, and, ten miles out, the high-specification laboratories and defence facilities at Porton Down. Fire dampers perform the same job across all these industries: keeping people safe from fire and smoke. However, many fire dampers in Wiltshire aren't fit for purpose; either they're inaccessible, untested, or non-functional.

A damper that's corroded, obstructed, or simply never been tested won't close when it's needed, and most building owners in and around Salisbury only find out during a fire risk assessment, an insurance audit, or worse. That's why BS 9999 and DW145 mandate an annual testing frequency.

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.
