Estimate, not a quotation

Estimate your fire damper costs

Answer a few questions about the building and see a costed range straight away, worked out from published rates. This is an estimate to budget against, not a quotation, and nothing here is a binding price.

This is an estimate, not a quotation. Nothing here is a binding price. A real price needs a survey.

Price your job

The more you can tell us, the tighter the range. Anything you do not know can be left alone and we will establish it on survey.

2. Rough quantities

Estimates only. If you do not know a number, leave it and we will establish it on survey.

Dampers in the building

Access panels needed

3. Site conditions

Access is the single biggest thing that moves the price, so this part matters more than the counts. By “in the way” we mean pipework, cable trays, ductwork or equipment sitting between the ceiling opening and the damper.

Access to the dampers

Working at height

When we can attend

Occupied or clinically sensitive areas

4. Where do we send it?

The last step. We only need somewhere to send the quotation: everything else we need is above.

We need a rough damper count to estimate surveying or servicing. If you do not know, ask us for a survey and we will establish it.

What moves the price

Two buildings with the same number of dampers can be thousands apart. These are the things that actually decide it, and the reasons the estimator asks what it asks.

Access is the single biggest factor. A damper behind a fixed ceiling with no panel can cost more to reach than to test.
Volume brings the rate down. The engineer is on site either way, so the more dampers on one visit, the less each one costs.
Height changes the method. Step ladders, towers and powered access are three different jobs.
Out of hours working carries an uplift, but it is often cheaper than the disruption of a daytime shutdown.
Remedial work is priced separately, because until a damper is opened up nobody knows what it needs.

Nothing on this page is a binding price or an offer to contract. It is a guide, produced from typical rates and the answers you give, to help you budget and sense-check other quotations. A real price needs a survey: until an engineer has seen the dampers, nobody can tell you what the work costs.
