We are the leading company for annual inspections and testing of fire dampers and smoke dampers across the country and ensure all services undertaken are in accordance with BS:9999 2017.

We work in hundreds of buildings across the UK in healthcare premises, corporate offices, education and retail sites and test in excess of 100,000 dampers per annum. Our fire damper inspections utilise unique asset numbers, bespoke software and detailed CAD drawings. We detail access limitations and make recommendations along with cleaning each fire or smoke damper that we inspect. All reports incorporate digital images to support our findings.
