Dry risers are a critical component of fire safety systems in tall buildings, providing firefighters with rapid access to water on upper floors during an emergency. Typically installed in buildings over 18 metres in height, these systems run vertically through the property, allowing fire crews to connect hoses at ground level and deliver high-pressure water exactly where it’s needed. At Bristol Fire, we provide expert dry riser testing, inspection, and maintenance services across Bristol and the surrounding areas, helping property owners stay compliant with UK fire safety regulations.
Regular dry riser testing is essential to ensure the system will operate effectively in the event of a fire. Over time, components can become damaged, corroded, or blocked, which can seriously compromise performance when it matters most. A faulty or poorly maintained dry riser can delay firefighting efforts, increasing the risk of extensive property damage, business disruption, and potential danger to life.
Our qualified engineers carry out thorough inspections and pressure testing in line with British Standards, identifying any faults and ensuring your system remains in full working order. We provide detailed reports and clear recommendations, giving you confidence that your building’s fire protection systems are reliable and compliant.
Whether you manage a residential block, commercial property, or high-rise development, Bristol Fire offers dependable dry riser servicing tailored to your needs. With our professional support, you can ensure your fire safety equipment is always ready to perform, helping to protect both your building and its occupants.
Dry risers can be damaged by vandalism or the elements, and it is the responsibility of whoever is in charge of the building to ensure that dry riser testing is carried out regularly.
We carry out annual pressure tests and visual checks every six months, performing dry riser installation, maintenance and servicing whenever it is required.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to respond to urgent requests for dry riser testing and maintenance.
