Where we test
Industrial estates, managed residential developments, schools and hospital campuses within 50 miles of Peterborough.
Private hydrant networks across distribution parks and manufacturing sites tested for flow and pressure, with defects photographed and reported for action.
Testing and servicing of hydrants on managed estates and new-build phases, giving managing agents evidence that firefighting water supplies are available.
Planned testing across multi-building sites arranged out of hours where necessary so grounds, car parks and access routes are not disrupted.

Everything an insurer, fire officer or auditor is likely to ask for.
FAQs
Private fire hydrants should be inspected and flow tested annually as a minimum, with a visual check more frequently on sites where damage or obstruction is likely. Your insurer or fire risk assessment may specify a shorter interval.
We locate and expose each hydrant, check the frame, cover, valve and outlet, flush the hydrant, and record static and running pressure along with flow rate. Results are compared with the required performance and any shortfall is reported.
Hydrants inside a site boundary are the responsibility of the site owner or occupier, not the water authority or fire service. That responsibility includes keeping them accessible, marked, serviceable and tested.
Yes — valve replacement, frame and cover repairs, marker post installation, chamber clearance and re-testing after remedial work, all carried out by the same team.
Send the site address and roughly how many hydrants you have — we will price an annual test and repair programme.
