Compliance you can evidence, not just claim
Titan Fire Compliance was built around a straightforward idea: fire damper compliance should be simple to understand, properly evidenced and honestly priced.
Our engineers work to recognised industry standards, and every job leaves you with a clear asset register, photographic evidence and a pass or fail position on every damper we touch. Where we find defects, we tell you what it will take to put right, and we can put it right.
What is a fire damper?
A fire damper is a passive fire protection device fitted where ductwork passes through a fire-rated wall, floor or ceiling. In normal use it sits open and lets air move freely through the ventilation system. In a fire it closes, restoring the integrity of the fire compartment so that flame and smoke cannot travel through the ductwork into the next part of the building.
How do fire dampers work?
Most fire dampers are held open by a fusible link that melts at around 72°C, releasing a spring or curtain that snaps the damper shut. Motorised dampers are driven closed by an actuator wired to the fire alarm or building management system. Both types depend on moving parts that can seize, corrode or become obstructed, which is why they have to be tested rather than assumed to work.
Where we work
Trusted across regulated and high-occupancy buildings
Fire dampers exist in almost every building with mechanical ventilation. We work in the sectors where getting them wrong carries the highest consequences.
Healthcare
Hospitals, care homes and clinical settings where evacuation is slowest and scrutiny is highest.
Education
Schools, colleges and university estates, with works planned around term dates and holidays.
Commercial offices
Multi-tenant office buildings, managed estates and landlord-retained areas.
Residential and high-rise
Blocks of flats, build-to-rent and student accommodation, including higher-risk buildings.
Retail and hospitality
Shopping centres, restaurants, hotels and leisure venues, including commercial kitchens.
Industrial and logistics
Warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres with large-volume ventilation.
Why it matters
Why fire dampers are essential to your building's fire strategy
Compartmentation is the backbone of almost every fire strategy in the UK. Walls and floors are built to hold a fire in one part of a building for long enough to let people out and let the fire service in. Every duct passing through those walls is a hole in that defence unless a working fire damper is protecting it.
A damper that is painted shut, obstructed by insulation, missing its fusible link or simply never tested offers no protection at all. Because dampers sit hidden above ceilings and inside risers, that failure is invisible until the day it matters.
