Fire Damper Testing, UK-Wide
Fire dampers are crucial fire safety devices that are integrated into a building’s air ventilation ductwork system. These metal curtains are designed to close in case of a fire within the building. Are you sure that your fire dampers will function as intended in the event of a fire?
Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 (the law), building managers (the responsible person) are legally obligated to ensure that all fire protection assets within their buildings are operational and properly maintained.
To demonstrate compliance with fire damper requirements, annual testing inspections should be conducted in accordance with BS9999 and BESA VH 001. These regulations dictate that all fire dampers within a building must be inspected on an annual basis.

Liam Hodgson, Client Lead at BCS tells us of the Damper Testing service:
At BCS, we take fire damper testing seriously because we understand how crucial these components are for your building’s safety. Our team ensures every damper is thoroughly inspected, from checking internal operations to verifying that everything works seamlessly. We believe in delivering not just compliance, but peace of mind. With our detailed reports, you’ll have all the information you need to stay on top of your fire safety requirements.”
Insurance companies may request a certificate to prove that your extractors meet this required standard of operation before they issue a valid policy. But luckily, this service is something that Bay Cleaning Services can provide, making sure that you can focus on what really matters — delivering great service to your customers.
Bay Cleaning Services isn’t like other cleaning companies. We utilise a fully mechanised cleaning system for a more thorough clean than is able to be accomplished by hand-cleaning alone. Our experts specialise in extractor cleaning, and if you’ve ever tackled the job yourself, you know that all that grease and grime needs professional attention. And there’s no better choice for the job than BCS.
We provide a full-service package with everything included. Beginning with a full survey and inspection, we’ll let you know exactly what’s needed and what we’ll be doing. Once you’re happy, we’ll proceed with the cleaning itself, which we’re sure both you and the insurance company will be happy with. As a reassurance, we’ll then provide a full report and issue you with a certificate, guaranteeing the quality of our work.
Our extractor cleaning packages start at just £250.00.
