Dental compressor servicing for UK practices: filters, dryer cartridges, condensate drains, pressure settings and safety valve checks on a planned schedule, with a written report after every visit. We also help you keep the written scheme of examination the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 require for your air receiver.
Planned servicing that keeps dry, clean air at the chair and your pressure system paperwork in order.
Intervals are set from running hours and the manufacturer's schedule, not just the calendar. A busy multi-surgery practice wears filters and dryers faster than a single-chair one, so we track hours and book the next visit before it is due.
Intake, coalescing and particulate filter elements changed at the manufacturer's interval using manufacturer parts. Cheap alternatives often have a higher pressure drop and let more through than their label suggests.
Desiccant or membrane cartridges replaced at the rated interval, refrigerant dryers cleaned and checked, and the air dryness checked at the outlet so moisture is not reaching handpieces.
Safety valve test, pressure switch setting, receiver condition and drain, electrical connections and a leak survey of the pipework. The air receiver is a pressure vessel, so it needs a written scheme of examination and periodic examination by a competent person; we coordinate with your examiner or insurer.

A standard service takes about half a day on site. Visits in the UK are scheduled with you.
We arrange the visit before the first patient or after the last, so surgeries are not left without air.
Running hours, operating pressure and temperature checked against specification, receiver drained and every accessible part inspected.
Filters and dryer elements changed, drains cleaned and minor faults repaired. Oil-free compressors do not need oil changes, but some have grease points and wear parts that do.
Pressure settings, flow at the chairs, air dryness, noise and leak tests on anything we disturbed.
Running hours, parts replaced, test readings, items to watch and the next due date, for your equipment file and CQC evidence.
Common questions about dental compressor servicing and PSSR in the UK.
Follow the manufacturer's schedule, which is usually based on running hours with a maximum interval of a year. Busy practices reach the hours sooner. The PSSR examination is separate and its interval is set in your written scheme of examination.
Filter changes, dryer service, condensate drain check, pressure switch setting, safety valve test, wear-part inspection, a leak survey, a performance test and a written report, with manufacturer parts on filters and dryer elements.
In most cases yes. The Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 apply to compressed air systems above certain pressure and stored-energy thresholds, which typical dental compressors with air receivers exceed. The scheme must be drawn up or certified by a competent person, and the system examined at the intervals it sets. We help you put this in place and keep the records with your service history.
Yes. Compressor servicing can sit in a wider contract with your suction, autoclave and chairs, so one visit covers several items and you have one set of records for CQC.
