Protecting your building from fire starts with having the right systems in place — and that includes expertly installed fire dampers.

With years of experience in HVAC and fire safety systems, we help you stay compliant, safe, and one step ahead.

What are fire dampers — and why do you need them?

Fire dampers are life-saving components built into ductwork and ventilation systems.

In the event of a fire, they’re designed to automatically close when temperatures rise, preventing flames and smoke from spreading through your building.

Compliance you can count on

All fire damper installations must meet the standards laid out in:

• BS 9999:2017 — Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings
• BS EN 1366-2 — Fire resistance tests for service installations
• HTM 03-01 — Specific requirements for healthcare buildings

Whether you’re fitting out a new development or retrofitting an older system, our experienced engineers ensure your fire dampers are installed correctly — and tested to meet the latest regulations.
