Fire Hydrant Servicing
A fire hydrant serves as a critical access point for firefighters, supplying water in emergencies. It can be either underground or a visible above-ground pillar. Hydrants are vital for active firefighting, so they must remain unobstructed and properly maintained.
The presence of a fire hydrant plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of firefighting efforts, making it a vital component of public fire safety systems. This also highlights the importance of fire hydrant flow testing as a key aspect of fire protection.
What We Offer
The two core regulations for fire hydrant testing include The Building Regulations 2010 (Part B: Fire Safety) and British Standard BS 9990:2015.

Flow tests, which confirm the hydrant’s ability to deliver the necessary water volume and pressure, will be conducted every service visit.
