The engineer attended site to carry out the necessary remedial works on Dry Riser 2, following issues identified during a previous inspection. Upon arrival, the engineer isolated the system and safely removed the defective B2 landing valve, which had shown signs of wear and was no longer compliant with current standards. A new BS5041-compliant landing valve was installed in its place. Once the installation was complete, the engineer conducted a pressure test to check for leaks and verify the system's integrity. The dry riser held pressure with no signs of leakage, confirming that the repair was successful. The system was then recommissioned and returned to full operational status.

In March 2025, Total Safe was contracted to perform routine fire hose servicing on three hose reel systems located in a multi-storey commercial building. The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with BS 5306-1:2006 and to verify the operational integrity of each system as part of the client’s fire safety obligations. During the servicing, all three hose reels were found to be non-compliant and failed the inspection for separate, critical reasons.

One of our experienced engineers recently completed the installation and commissioning of multiple fire extinguishers and a fire blanket at a site in London, ensuring full compliance with UK BAFE (British Approvals for Fire Equipment) regulations.

A commissioning certificate was issued, and the client was advised on ongoing maintenance schedules to keep the fire protection system in peak condition. This meticulous approach ensures that the site meets fire safety regulations, providing effective fire protection for occupants and assets.

Our engineers attended a site in Tilbury this week to carry out a dry riser wet test, ensuring that the system is fully operational and compliant with UK standards. Regular testing of dry risers is crucial to maintaining the safety and preparedness of any multi-story building, allowing firefighters to access a reliable water supply in the event of an emergency! During the test, our team conducted a full pressure assessment, checking for leaks, valve functionality, and overall system integrity. The results? A fully functional dry riser system, ready to support emergency response teams if ever needed. Routine maintenance and testing of dry risers are not just regulatory requirements—they are essential for saving lives and protecting property. If your building needs a dry riser inspection or maintenance, make sure to schedule it with certified professionals. ✅ System integrity verified ✅ No leaks or pressure drops ✅ 100% compliance achieved

Following on from some work we carried out previously, we returned to a site in Felixstowe Docks to carry out some hydrant remedial works. Although the hydrant passed the wet test, which measures pressure and checks for damage, the hydrant failed on the visual test. It was faded and dirty, not at all visible from the road, making it difficult for firefighters in the event of an emergency. Luckily. this was easily remedied. One of our engineers reattended site to give the hydrant pit cover a fresh coat of yellow paint and clean the indicator plate to ensure that it was easy to find!

Our engineers carried out an annual hydrant servicing test to ensure the system's reliability and compliance with safety standards. During the test, we pressurized the hydrant to check for leaks, flow performance, and overall functionality. Unfortunately, the test failed due to a leaking spindle when under pressure, as shown in the video below. This type of issue can compromise the hydrant’s effectiveness in an emergency, so we have advised that repairs be carried out promptly to restore full operational integrity and aim to reattend site as soon as possible.

Our engineers attended a site in Kent to carry out an annual dry riser wet test and a foam pourer inspection, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and optimal system performance.

It was in perfect working condition! The foam pourer however needed a new ID sign as the old one was faded and unreadable, making it difficult to find and use in the event of an emergency.

We attended a pub in Henham to carry out an annual inspection of their fire extinguisher's and service them. We discovered that all extinguishers on site were in working order and up to date with UK regulations, meaning they were all safe to use. However - two extinguishers were due to expire next year and as such, we've made a note in the company's file to ensure that when we return for next years annual service, we can take two new fire extinguisher's with us to replace them. An expired fire extinguisher may not work correctly or be effective in a fire so it's important to replace them when necessary! Regular annual servicing is crucial for ensuring fire extinguishers work when they’re needed most.

A dry riser test is a safety inspection carried out to ensure that a building's dry riser system is functioning correctly.

A regular client contacted us to carry out an annual fire extinguisher service. We visited the site, serviced the extinguishers and condemned two as they had expired so were no longer safe to use in the event of a fire. Extinguishers do get expire after a number of years and we condemn these in order to keep our clients safe. Co2 extinguishers are condemned after 10 years, all other fire extinguishers are condemned after 5 years, however if an extinguisher is damaged or not functioning correctly, we will condemn it before this time period has elapsed for safety reasons and to keep in line with legal compliance standards. One of our engineers later re-attended site to install two new extinguishers. Book your fire extinguisher service today!
