Water and Foam Extinguisher Maintenance
Foam fire extinguishers and water fire extinguishers are the most commonly deployed fire safety solutions in commercial environments, providing effective protection against Class A and Class B fires. Oltec Facilities Management specialises in servicing both foam and water extinguisher types throughout Lancaster, ensuring these essential fire safety devices remain fully operational and compliant. Foam extinguishers are particularly effective for liquid fires, creating a blanket that smothers flames and prevents re-ignition, whilst water extinguishers excel at tackling combustible materials like wood, paper, and textiles. Our technicians conduct thorough inspections of both types, checking internal components, verifying additive concentrations in foam units, and testing discharge mechanisms to guarantee reliable performance when these extinguishers are needed most.
CO2 & Powder Fire Extinguisher Servicing
Powder fire extinguishers and CO2 extinguishers are indispensable fire safety solutions for businesses with electrical equipment, machinery, and multi-hazard environments requiring specialised fire protection. Across Lancaster, Oltec FM provides expert maintenance services for these technical extinguisher types, ensuring they remain fully charged and operational. CO2 units suppress fires by displacing oxygen without leaving chemical residues, making them perfect for protecting computers, telecommunications equipment, and precision instruments. Powder extinguishers contain dry chemical agents that interrupt combustion reactions across multiple fire classes, offering broad-spectrum protection. Our servicing includes weighing CO2 cylinders to detect leakage, checking powder for caking or moisture contamination, testing discharge mechanisms, and verifying safety features.
Wet Chemical Extinguisher Inspections
Wet chemical fire extinguishers represent essential safety equipment for any commercial kitchen, designed specifically to combat the intense heat and re-ignition risks associated with burning cooking oils and fats. Throughout Lancaster, The Oltec Group provides specialist servicing for wet chemical extinguishers, maintaining these critical fire safety devices to protect kitchen staff and prevent catastrophic kitchen fires. The chemical agents within these extinguishers create a cooling blanket effect that rapidly suppresses flames whilst forming a barrier against oxygen re-supply. Our comprehensive maintenance service includes visual inspections, chemical solution analysis, pressure verification, lance and nozzle cleaning, seal replacement, and detailed compliance documentation ensuring your kitchen extinguishers meet Food Standards Agency and fire safety requirements.
