A client in London reached out to us as they wanted us to test their dry riser which was due for it's annual inspection. A dry riser test is a safety inspection carried out to ensure that a building's dry riser system is functioning correctly. A dry riser is a network of empty pipes within a building, designed to be filled with water by firefighters in an emergency, allowing water to be transported and accessed even in the top floors of a building.

This week, one of our engineers has been hard at work for We Are Capitol in London, carrying out PAT Testing on around 1300 items and Fire Extinguisher Servicing on 18 extinguishers.

A regular client contacted us to carry out an annual fire extinguisher maintenance. 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 maintenance today!

Our engineers attended a site in London to carry out annual dry riser test and maintenance on a dry riser system. In this case, the test was failed and remedial works needed to be carried out to ensure the safety of the building and occupants.

One of our expert engineers went out to a retirement apartment block in Feltham today to service their fire doors. In the year ending March 2023, 47% of all fire-related fatalities in England were in people aged 65 years and over. We inspected over 30 doors to ensure that in the event of a fire, they would operate correctly to enable residents to evacuate and stay safe.

We went to Vortex Jazz club this week to carry out emergency lighting tests.

We went out to One Community in Tilbury to carry out annual PAT testing and Fire Extinguisher Maintenance. This test is carried out by our engineers every year to help keep the workers and visitors at One Community safe.

One of our long-standing clients contacted us recently to report leaks and issues with their fire hydrants and sprinkler systems. Upon further investigation, Fire Hydrant Testing and Pipe Repair, we found that the issue was being caused by faulty piping.

Recently, our engineers attended Shirley Towers to carry out Dry Riser Maintenance and Servicing.

A new client reached out to us to complete a dry riser wet test on one of their buildings. Upon arrival, our engineers thoroughly checked all outlets to make sure there was no damage. The engineers then set up the hoses and the pump to prepare to flush through the dry riser. Once the dry riser was full of water one of the engineers went to the dry riser outlet to check the pressure. It is a requirement that a dry riser is visually inspected every 6 months and wet tested annually.
