What Is a Fire Damper Inspection?

Certified Fire Damper Testing & Maintenance

Fire dampers are critical components of your passive fire protection system. Over time, dust, corrosion, poor installation, and lack of servicing can cause dampers to fail—putting your building at risk.

A fire damper inspection verifies that each damper:

Is correctly installed
Is free from damage or obstruction
Operates fully and closes as designed
Can be accessed for ongoing testing and maintenance

Fire dampers must be inspected and tested at regular intervals to remain compliant and effective.

Visual inspection of fire and fire/smoke dampers

All inspections are carried out in accordance with current UK standards and best practice, with reports suitable for audits and fire risk assessments.
