Professional Dry Riser Maintenance for Residential and Commercial Buildings
Dry riser servicing is one of the most important elements of fire safety management in any multi-storey building, and at Oltec FM we provide a professional, fully structured dry riser maintenance service for both residential and commercial properties throughout Leighton in Cambridgeshire. 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. Regular servicing ensures that your dry riser system remains operational, legally compliant, and ready to deliver water effectively to upper floors the moment the fire brigade connects at street level. For property managers responsible for large residential blocks or commercial buildings, consistent dry riser maintenance is not optional; it is a legal duty under UK fire safety legislation. Our team coordinates all aspects of your servicing schedule, provides detailed written reports after every visit, and issues compliance certificates so that duty holders always have the documentation they need to demonstrate regulatory compliance and protect both occupants and themselves from unnecessary risk.
Why a Dry Riser System Is Critical to High-Rise Fire Safety
Understanding why a dry riser system is critical to building fire safety helps property managers appreciate the importance of keeping it properly maintained and compliant. A dry riser is a network of vertical pipework installed inside a building, designed to allow the fire brigade to pump water from street level up to landing valves on each floor, providing a reliable supply wherever it is needed most during a fire. Unlike wet risers, a dry riser contains no water under normal conditions, which means it requires dedicated testing and inspection to confirm that it will perform correctly when called upon in a real emergency. For buildings over 18 metres in height across Leighton in Cambridgeshire and throughout the UK, dry risers are a mandatory fire safety requirement, and their maintenance is governed by BS9990 and associated UK fire safety legislation. At Oltec, our engineers understand the critical role these systems play in protecting lives and supporting emergency responders, and our maintenance and testing services are designed to ensure every system is consistently ready, reliable, and compliant.
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 Leighton in Cambridgeshire 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 Services 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.
