Fire Damper Testing and Inspection

Fire damper inspections: stay compliant and protect your building

Fire dampers are vital safety devices fitted in building ventilation systems. They are designed to seal off ducts and stop fire and smoke from spreading between rooms and floors, helping to protect lives and limit damage to property. UK law (BS9999:2017) makes annual fire damper testing and inspection a legal requirement. Building owners, managers, and dutyholders must prove that every fire damper is regularly tested by a qualified professional. If not, insurance and legal cover may be at risk, and lives may be endangered.

Why fire damper testing matters

Regular testing ensures your fire safety systems work as intended in an emergency. Over time, dampers can stick, become blocked, or develop faults that stop them from closing properly. Unchecked, this can mean fire or smoke travels quickly through a building. Routine inspection and maintenance help reduce risk, keep you compliant, and provide evidence for insurers and regulators. For clients, this means peace of mind, cost control, and fewer surprises if issues are found early.
