Fire Damper Assessments

Fire dampers are an important part of a building's fire safety system. They are installed within ventilation ductwork to help prevent fire and smoke from spreading between different areas of a building.

Like any safety equipment, fire dampers must be regularly inspected and tested to make sure they operate correctly in an emergency. If a damper fails to close during a fire, flames and smoke can quickly spread through the ventilation system.

At Barnsley Refrigeration, we carry out professional fire damper inspections and testing for commercial buildings. Our engineers ensure your systems are working correctly and help you remain compliant with current fire safety regulations.

Frequently asked questions regarding fire damper assessments


What is a fire damper?

A fire damper is a device installed in ventilation ductwork that automatically closes during a fire to prevent flames and smoke from spreading through the building.

How do fire dampers work?

Most fire dampers contain a fusible link that melts when exposed to high temperatures. When this happens, the damper blades close, creating a barrier within the duct to help contain the fire.

How often should fire dampers be tested?

According to British Standard BS 9999, fire dampers should normally be inspected and tested at least once every year by a competent person.

Why is fire damper testing important?

Regular testing ensures dampers will function correctly in the event of a fire, helping to protect occupants and limit the spread of smoke and flames.

What happens if a damper fails inspection?

If a damper does not operate correctly, it will be recorded in the inspection report and recommendations will be provided for repair or replacement.
