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 Facilities Management, our professional dry riser maintenance service supports property managers across Raylees in Northumberland 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 Raylees in Northumberland 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.

At Oltec FM, our dry riser maintenance services are delivered by BS9990 trained engineers who follow recognised British Standards throughout every inspection, test, and repair. Our comprehensive service includes a thorough visual inspection of all inlets, landing valves, and outlet valves, along with checks of all signage, caps, and associated fittings to ensure they are in good condition and correctly positioned. We carry out hydraulic pressure testing to confirm that the system can perform under operating conditions, and we identify and repair any defects or damage found during our visit. On completion, we issue compliance certificates and detailed maintenance reports that give duty holders across Raylees in Northumberland clear, documented evidence that their dry riser system has been properly serviced in line with legal and safety requirements.
