Wet & Dry Riser Specialists.

Emtec React design, supply, install, test and commission dry or wet risers systems to meet British Standards namely BS9990:2015, BS9991, BS9999 and Approved Document B (Fire Safety) of the Building Regulations (England & Wales).

Wet & Dry Riser Systems

We design, install and maintain wet and dry riser systems that provide fire service teams with rapid access to a reliable water supply during an emergency.
These systems are a critical component of high-rise and multi-storey buildings, supporting effective firefighting operations while helping to protect life and property. All riser systems are delivered in full compliance with UK Building Regulations and relevant British Standards.

Designed to meet the demands of modern building regulations and fire strategies, wet and dry riser systems must perform flawlessly when required. Emtec React apply a detailed, compliance-led approach to every riser installation, ensuring systems are robust, accessible and clearly identified for fire service use. By prioritising quality, coordination and long-term serviceability, we deliver riser solutions that building owners and duty holders can depend on.

Our Wet & Dry Riser System services include:

Wet Riser Systems

Wet riser systems are permanently charged with water and are typically installed in high-rise buildings to provide immediate firefighting capability. We design and install wet risers to deliver consistent water pressure throughout the building, ensuring fire services can respond quickly and effectively during an incident.

With extensive experience across residential and commercial developments, Emtec React work closely with project teams to ensure riser systems are correctly specified, carefully coordinated and installed to the highest standards. From early design through to final commissioning and certification, our in-house approach ensures reliability, compliance and long-term performance.

Dry Riser Systems

Dry riser systems are normally installed in buildings where a permanently charged system is not required. The system remains empty until connected to the fire service pump, providing a controlled and reliable water supply when needed. All dry risers are installed and tested in accordance with the relevant British Standards.

Design, Installation
& Commissioning

Our team manage the complete riser process in-house, including system design, installation, pressure testing and commissioning.
This ensures full compliance, correct integration with the building’s fire strategy and a smooth handover with all required certification in place.

Inspection, Testing
& Maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of wet and dry riser systems is essential to ensure ongoing performance and compliance. We offer planned maintenance and routine testing carried out by experienced engineers, helping building owners and managing agents meet their legal obligations.
If you require a new wet or dry riser system, or ongoing inspection and maintenance, our team is here to help. Contact us today to discuss your riser system requirements or to request a tailored quotation.
