Professional Dry Riser Maintenance for Residential and Commercial Buildings
The fire safety requirements for multi-storey residential and commercial buildings are clear: dry riser systems must be properly maintained, regularly tested, and kept in full working order at all times. At Oltec Services, our professional dry riser maintenance service supports property managers across Greyfriars in Bedfordshire in meeting those requirements efficiently and without stress. Our team carries out thorough inspections of every component within the dry riser system, including breeching inlets, landing valves, outlet valves, drain points, and associated fittings, identifying any defects or areas of concern before they develop into more serious compliance or operational issues. We also carry out hydraulic pressure testing as required under BS9990, confirming that the system can deliver the performance expected of it in a live emergency. Following each service visit, property managers and duty holders receive detailed written reports and compliance certificates to support their fire safety records. With our dry riser maintenance service in place, you can be confident that your systems are ready whenever they are needed most.
Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
The dry riser system is an essential component of fire safety in any multi-storey or high-rise building, providing the fire brigade with a direct and reliable means of delivering water to upper floors during an emergency. Installed as a network of vertical pipework within the building's core or stairwells, a dry riser connects at street level through a breeching inlet, where firefighters can pump water at pressure into the system. Landing valves at each floor level then allow the fire crew to connect hoses and tackle a fire effectively, even where mains water pressure alone would be insufficient to reach the upper floors. Buildings exceeding 18 metres in height across Greyfriars in Bedfordshire are typically required to have dry riser systems installed, and those systems must be kept in full working order through regular inspection, pressure testing, and maintenance in line with BS9990. Without consistent and compliant servicing, a dry riser system may develop undetected faults that could prevent it from functioning correctly when lives depend on it. Oltec Services provides the expert servicing your system needs to remain reliable.
BS9990 Compliant Dry Riser Testing and Certification from Trusted Engineers
Our dry riser maintenance service covers every element of BS9990 compliant inspection, testing, and repair, giving property managers and duty holders across Greyfriars in Bedfordshire complete confidence in their fire safety systems. During each visit, our engineers carry out a full visual inspection of all dry riser components, including inlets, landing valves, outlet valves, drain points, and associated fittings, checking for signs of damage, corrosion, or non-compliance. We verify that all signage is correctly displayed and that all caps and blanking plates are in place and in good condition. Hydraulic pressure testing is carried out to confirm system integrity, and any defects identified during the inspection are reported, and where possible, repaired during the same visit. On completion, Oltec issues comprehensive compliance certificates and written maintenance reports to support your fire safety records. Our BS9990 trained engineers apply consistent, methodical standards to every project, making us the preferred choice for responsible persons who need to be certain that their dry riser systems meet all legal requirements and are ready for use in any emergency.
