Intrusive Chute Inspection & Cold Smoke Spillage Test

Many existing and historic refuse chutes were constructed decades ago—often with exceptional durability—meaning many remain serviceable today. Before deciding on upgrades or full replacement, an intrusive chute inspection combined with a cold smoke spillage test is recommended. This process helps determine the most cost-effective route to achieve fire compliance and functional reliability.

The inspection involves controlled smoke testing of the entire chute system, from the bin room to the roof vent, including all chute equipment. Findings are documented with time- and location-stamped photographic evidence, resulting in a detailed digital report. This report highlights:

The current condition of the chute and its equipment
Any required repairs or upgrades
Whether existing components remain compliant and serviceable

This type of inspection is particularly valuable for systems not inspected in the past five years.

Scheduled Chute Equipment Inspection, Testing, Service & Certification

Regular scheduled servicing ensures continued compliance and performance of chute systems. This includes:

Visual inspection of hoppers, doors, and access hatches
Controlled smoke tightness testing
Replacement of worn or failed consumable parts, such as fire and smoke seals

A time- and geography-stamped digital report is produced, detailing chute condition, compliance status, and any required remedial works. Upon successful completion, chute systems can be certified as compliant.
