A thorough check of all accessible dry riser components at the mid-year point — catching issues before they become failures.
BS 9990:2015 requires that dry risers are visually inspected every six months in addition to the annual pressure test. Both form part of your legal duty to maintain fire-fighting equipment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The 6-month inspection is a thorough visual check of every accessible component — without the hydraulic pressure test element.
The purpose is to identify any damage, vandalism, or deterioration that may have occurred since the last annual test, so that issues can be corrected before they cause a failure at the next pressure test — or, worse, during an actual emergency.
Together, both tests form the full maintenance schedule required by BS 9990:2015 to meet your duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Our engineers systematically work through every floor of the building, checking all accessible components.
Following the inspection you receive a written report detailing the condition of every component checked. Any defects or concerns are clearly listed with a description and photographs where relevant.
If defects are found that need attention, an itemised remedial quote is provided through your online portal for review and approval — no waiting for a separate call or email.
Book your 6-month inspection and annual pressure test together and let the system manage reminders automatically.
