Our dry riser maintenance programme covers all key system components, including inlet breeching connections, landing valves, outlet valves, drain valves, and all associated pipework and fittings.

Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
Dry riser systems play a vital and non-negotiable role in fire safety for multi-storey and high-rise buildings across Kettleburn in Northumberland and throughout the UK. Designed as a fixed vertical pipework installation within the structure of a building, a dry riser allows the fire brigade to connect at a breeching inlet at street level and pump water upwards to landing valves on each floor, providing a controlled and reliable water supply during a fire emergency. Because these systems contain no water under normal operating conditions, they must be regularly inspected and hydraulically pressure tested to confirm they are free from leaks, blockages, or component failures that could prevent them from operating correctly in an emergency. The importance of this testing is underlined by BS9990, the British Standard that governs dry riser inspection and maintenance in the UK. At Oltec, our experienced engineers carry out all required testing, inspection, and certification work to ensure that your dry riser system meets the standard expected of it and is genuinely ready to support firefighting operations when the situation demands it.

The dry riser maintenance service provided by The Oltec Group is thorough, structured, and fully aligned with BS9990 and current UK fire safety legislation, giving duty holders across Kettleburn in Northumberland the assurance that every system in their care is compliant, documented, and operationally ready. Our engineers carry out a detailed visual inspection of all system components during every service visit, including inlet breeching connections, landing valves, outlet valves, drain valves, and all associated fittings, caps, and signage. We then conduct hydraulic pressure testing to verify that the system can sustain the required pressure without leaks or failures, and we identify and address any defects or areas of concern found during the process. All findings are recorded in a comprehensive written report, and compliance certificates are issued to support the duty holder's fire safety management records. Our team's strong knowledge of British Standards and local building requirements makes us an experienced and dependable partner for property managers who want to be confident that their dry riser systems are consistently maintained, tested, and ready for emergency use at all times.
