Case Study: Colindale, Barnet Council

Fire Damper Inspection, Testing & Servicing

Overview

PTM Combined Services completed the inspection, testing and servicing of fire dampers across Barnet Council’s facilities in Colindale. The works formed part of the building’s planned fire safety maintenance programme, helping to ensure that passive fire protection systems remained fully operational and compliant.

The Challenge

Fire dampers play a vital role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation systems. To remain effective, they require regular inspection, testing and maintenance in line with current fire safety legislation and industry guidance.

The project required access to multiple locations throughout the building while ensuring minimal disruption to council staff and daily operations.

Our Solution

Our specialist engineers carried out a comprehensive programme of fire damper inspections and servicing, ensuring each unit operated correctly and was free from obstruction or damage.

The works included:

  • Fire damper inspection and testing
  • Cleaning and servicing
  • Operational checks
  • Identification of defective or inaccessible dampers
  • Detailed asset reporting
  • Compliance documentation and recommendations

All inspections were completed safely and in accordance with recognised industry standards and best practice.

Results

The servicing programme confirmed the operational condition of the fire dampers and provided Barnet Council with a detailed record of the building’s passive fire protection assets. Any defects identified were reported with clear recommendations, helping to maintain compliance and support future maintenance planning.
