Dry Riser Maintenance & Testing
Annual wet pressure tests and 6-monthly visual inspections, keeping your building compliant, certified, and audit-ready.
Under BS 9990, every dry riser must be tested annually and visually inspected every six months. We handle both; on schedule, with full documentation, and zero disruption to your building or its occupants. Whether you're managing a single block or a portfolio of hundreds, we make compliance one less thing to worry about. We turn up, do the work, sign it off, and send the certification.
