If it needs servicing or any faults occur we will resolve this as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Dry Risers
All wet and dry rises should be visually inspected every six months and tested annually. All systems installed must comply to the British standard BS: 9990-2006 to comply with fire insurance policies.
A dry risers pressure testing should take place annually and a test of 10 bar for 15 minutes should be undertaken and recorded. During this test, all joint valves and outlets should be inspected for failure and any repairs undertaken. The dry riser should then be drained and left empty with all valves isolated ready for use.
Sprinkler Systems
"Sprinkler system maintenance is not complex but is essential"
All sprinkler systems should be visually inspected and tested every year (12 months). All new systems installed must comply to the British standard BS9251:2014 to comply with fire insurance policies.

- Asses whether the system in place is still suitable for the building if there are any changes to material, an increase in fire loading or include a vulnerable person on the premises
- Inspection of the sprinkler heads and cover plates to ensure that nothing has been tampered with
- All joint valves, locking mechanisms and outlets inspected and tested
- Test of alarms
- Backflow preventions checked
