Fire Dampers

Protect your building, your people, and your compliance with fire dampers

At The Sweeping Company, we specialise in comprehensive fire damper services that ensure your fire safety systems do what they’re designed to do — stop fire and smoke in their tracks.

Whether you need installation, maintenance, or testing, we’re here to make sure your dampers are up to code and fully functional.

What do fire dampers do?

Fire dampers are passive fire protection devices fitted in ductwork and ventilation systems.

Their job is simple but critical: when temperatures rise, the fire damper automatically closes to prevent fire and smoke from travelling through the duct system to other parts of the building.

Without properly installed and maintained dampers, a fire can spread rapidly — turning what could have been a contained incident into a full-building emergency.

Why fire damper compliance is critical

You’re legally required to keep fire dampers in good working order.

According to BS 9999 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, regular testing and maintenance are not optional — they’re essential for compliance and insurance validity.

Non-compliance can lead to serious legal consequences, not to mention putting lives at risk.

Types of fire dampers

We work with all major types of fire dampers, including:

• Curtain-type fire dampers
• Intumescent fire dampers
• Motorised fire dampers
• Combination fire/smoke dampers

Each has its own use case depending on the layout, building regulations, and airflow system — and we’ll help you determine exactly what’s needed.

From installation to ongoing testing

We don’t just install and walk away.

Fire dampers need regular, expert attention to keep your building safe and compliant.
