Keeping Fire Dampers Working as They Should

Fire dampers are designed to help prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation systems, but their position within ductwork can make problems difficult to spot. A build-up of dirt or debris, corrosion, damage or a fault with the mechanism could affect how a damper operates when it is needed.

Our specialists inspect and test accessible dampers to identify these issues and establish whether they are operating correctly. Where problems are found, we provide clear information on what needs attention.
