For property managers overseeing multi-storey residential or commercial buildings across St Helen's in East Sussex, keeping a dry riser system in full working order is a legal obligation and a core element of responsible building management. Oltec offers a professional and thorough dry riser maintenance service that covers all aspects of system upkeep, from routine visual inspections and landing valve checks to hydraulic pressure testing and defect repairs. Our engineers are experienced in working within occupied residential buildings as well as busy commercial environments, and they carry out every service visit with care, efficiency, and as little disruption as possible. We inspect all system components in detail, documenting any faults, recommending remedial action, and completing repairs where required so that the entire dry riser system is returned to full compliance at the end of every visit. Detailed maintenance reports and compliance certificates are issued following every engagement, providing duty holders with the records they need to demonstrate that their fire safety obligations have been met in line with current UK legislation and BS9990 standards.
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 St Helen's in East Sussex 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 Facilities Management 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 St Helen's in East Sussex 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 FM 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.
