Fire Damper Servicing and Ductwork Cleaning

Fire and smoke dampers are fitted in ductwork where it passes through a fire compartment barrier, for example at fire-rated walls and floors.  They are designed to shut when a specified temperature or fire/smoke condition is met, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. In the most common design, a fusible link holds a spring-loaded shutter open. When the temperature is reached the link ‘fuses’, or melts and the shutter drops to stop the passage of hot air and smoke.

The difference between a well-maintained, working fire damper and an ill-maintained, partially working fire damper can be the difference between life and death in the case of a fire. These systems can fail over time for many different reasons which is why the British Standards give  good clear guidance that all fire dampers should be tested at regular intervals not exceeding 2 years and that spring operated fire dampers should be tested every 12 months and at greater frequencies if in a dust-laden environment.
