Fire Hydrant Servicing And Testing
Fire hydrants are used by firefighters to get access to a good and strong water supply. Occasionally, when the closest fire hydrant in a public footway is not close enough to a building, a fire hydrant will need to be set up on private properties.
These are referred to as privately owned fire hydrants. It is important that they are installed by a competent fire hydrant contractor.
The fire engine is connected to the fire hydrant using a hose. A hose at the property side is then connected taking advantage of the new local supply. The firefighters are therefore able to move lifesaving water more effectively and powerfully to the cause of the fire.
Since 1989, fire hydrants built on private properties are the sole responsibility of the person who owns or manages that property i.e. the facilities manage, landlord, or property owner. Legally, it’s the responsibility of the person in charge of the property to maintain the fire hydrant and keep it in proper working condition.
Fire Hydrant Maintenance and Servicing
Our team of professionals can help you with the installation, maintenance, and comprehensive testing of fire hydrants. And fire hydrant flow testing.
We work with local experts all over the UK and can send quick help to you, no matter where you are located.
The British Standard BS99990:15 regulates the installation and maintenance of privately owned fire hydrants. It requires annual testing along with testing requirements and recommendations.
As it is easy to forget about things you don’t see, it is important to note, that underground hydrants require regular inspections as well.
This is very important in order to have top-quality and reliable equipment available at all times. In the event of a fire, this allows firefighters to act as fast as possible and could possibly save lives.
To ensure reliability and safety, we strictly follow all BS9990:15 guidelines and recommendations, which is not only a legal requirement but will make the people in your building feel safe as well.
On top of this, all our parts used for design comply with the British Standard BS5041.
We have contracts with FM companies, Block Management, and individual property owners throughout the UK.
