dry riser servicing, testing & maintenance
Dry risers play a critical role in helping the Fire and Rescue Service deliver water quickly throughout a building during a fire. Regular inspection, testing, and maintenance are essential to ensure these systems remain fully operational and ready for use when they are needed most.
At Argos Fire Protection, we provide professional dry riser inspection, testing, maintenance, repair, and commissioning services for building owners, managing agents, facilities managers, housing providers, and commercial organisations across the South West and beyond.
Whether you require routine compliance testing, repairs, recommissioning following building alterations, or support through an ongoing maintenance programme, our experienced team can help keep your dry riser systems compliant, reliable, and ready for service.
Why dry riser maintenance matters
Dry risers are commonly found in apartment blocks, offices, hotels, healthcare facilities, educational establishments, and other multi-storey buildings where firefighting access can be more challenging.
To ensure systems remain operational in an emergency, dry risers should be inspected and tested in accordance with BS 9990:2015, the current British Standard for non-automatic firefighting systems in buildings.
Failure to maintain a dry riser system can result in defects remaining undetected until the system is required in an emergency, potentially impacting firefighting operations and compliance obligations.
Our dry riser services
Regular visual inspections help identify damage, corrosion, missing components, accessibility issues, and signs of wear that could affect the performance of the system.
Annual pressure testing verifies the integrity of the dry riser system, helping ensure it remains watertight and capable of operating effectively in an emergency. Certification is provided on successful completion of the test.
We provide repair and recommissioning services for dry riser systems affected by building alterations, accidental damage, corrosion, missing components, or general wear and tear.
