Hose Reel Testing

The servicing of hose reels is governed by BS-EN-671-3, and this recommends that you regularly have these checked and inspected by a competent person and or company.

The British Standards require you have a flow rate and pressure test, with a service label attached to the reel, as well as a pressure test on the hose itself every 5 years.

Although hose reels are not as common anymore and some Fire authorities have advised them to be removed and replaced with a alternative means of fighting a fire, whether this be a dry riser, fire extinguisher or sprinkler system, in some cases this isn’t feasible.

FireTech have a wealth of experience within this sector, servicing numerous sites across the country from a large caravan site in Blackpool to a office block in Cornwall, no matter the size of your property we can be off assistance.

On successful maintenance completion of your hose reels you will be issued with certification for each individual hose reel stating they are in good working order, and can be used in the event of a fire. If your systems fail we carry a large stock and can usually solve any issues on the spot.
We also offer decommissioning services, if your hose reel system is no longer required for whatever reason we can safely isolate and remove and cap of the incoming water supply.
