Managing commercial premises in the Steel City requires a proactive approach to safety. Whether you are responsible for a modern office development in the Heart of the City project or a large-scale facility in the Lower Don Valley, your legal duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 are clear. A robust fire risk assessment is your primary tool for identifying hazards, but the mechanical integrity of your building, specifically your fire dampers and ventilation systems, is what prevents a localized incident from becoming a major disaster.
Cleanair UK acts as a specialist technical partner for Sheffield’s business community. We provide the high-level maintenance and testing required to ensure your building’s internal fire barriers are fully operational and legally compliant.
In many of Sheffield’s multi-storey office blocks and industrial sites, ventilation ducting travels through fire-rated walls and floors. To maintain the “compartmentation” of the building, fire dampers are installed at these junctions. These mechanical shutters are designed to slam shut when heat is detected, stopping the spread of smoke and fire through the ductwork.
However, dampers are often “out of sight, out of mind.” Over time, mechanical parts can seize, or the accumulation of dust and grease can prevent a damper from sealing correctly. If your fire risk assessment identifies the need for compartmentation, that protection only exists if your dampers are tested and maintained every 12 months.
Cleanair UK is a national specialist, trusted by high-specification organisations such as the NHS, Meta, and the Ministry of Defence. While our headquarters are in the South, our nationwide mobile teams are a constant presence across Sheffield and South Yorkshire. We bring a level of technical rigour and professional reporting that is usually reserved for the UK’s most sensitive government facilities directly to your local office or commercial site.
Don’t wait for a fire officer’s inspection to discover a failure in your fire safety strategy. Proactive maintenance is the most cost-effective way to protect your staff, your assets, and your business’s reputation.

Looking for companies for the cleaning and servicing of my kitchen canopy and ducts I found, via Google, overpriced local traders. I am so glad I looked on the BESA website and came across Clean Air Ltd. The lads you sent round were polite and did a good job. I was so confident in your pricing and work I recommended Clean Air to my church for their kitchen work. God Bless you all.
Have used Cleanair before to do our kitchen deep clean and were very impressed with their work so asked them to replace our duct for the kitchen extraction. Arrived on time, done the work quickly and efficiently which allowed our kitchen team to carry on with their prep work. I highly recommend them.
We got VIP treatment as a local business – all queries were answered professionally and the work itself was fast and clean – no mess left on site. A refreshing attitude! Thanks to the team!
A huge thank you to the staff at CleanAir UK who have done the most fantastic job cleaning our kitchen this year. They were prompt, polite, helpful, friendly and amazingly efficient. The kitchen is sparkling and we are thrilled with the results. We will definitely be asking them back next year…
