Complete Hard Facilities Management Solutions for Property Managers
Oltec delivers a full suite of hard FM services designed to maintain the structural and mechanical integrity of your commercial property portfolio. Our qualified engineers provide expert HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair, ensuring heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems operate efficiently year-round. Alongside HVAC, we manage commercial lighting systems, from specification and installation through to ongoing maintenance and energy-efficient upgrades, helping property managers across the UK reduce operating costs while maintaining safe and well-lit environments for occupants.
Our building services division covers all aspects of plumbing, including leak detection, pipework installation, and pressure testing for commercial premises. We also offer professional painting and decorating services, applying specialist commercial-grade coatings to interior and exterior surfaces to protect and refresh your assets. Building fabric maintenance is central to everything we do, covering structural repairs, brick and stonework, internal partitioning, ceilings, and all associated fabric elements that keep your property weathertight and fit for purpose. For property managers in Manchester and the wider North West region, our teams are strategically positioned to deliver fast, reliable response times across your managed estate.
Oltec's mechanical and electrical services cover the full project lifecycle, from design and installation through to commissioning and ongoing maintenance of M&E systems within commercial buildings. Our roofing division specialises in roofing installation and repairs across flat roof, pitched roof, and single-ply membrane systems, protecting your building envelope from water ingress and weather damage. We also provide comprehensive commercial estate and landlord management support, acting as a single point of contact for multi-site property managers and landlords across Manchester and the UK who need a reliable, experienced FM partner to manage the full range of hard services across their portfolio.
Integrated Soft Facilities Management Solutions Across the UK
Oltec provides a broad range of soft FM services to complement our hard FM offering, giving property managers a single, accountable facilities management partner for all non-technical building support services. Our professional commercial cleaning services are delivered by trained operatives working to agreed schedules and service level agreements, covering offices, retail units, industrial premises, and communal areas within managed estates. Whether you require daily cleaning contracts, periodic deep cleans, or specialist cleans following incidents or refurbishments, Oltec has the resource and expertise to meet your requirements across sites in Manchester and nationwide.
A well-presented exterior is as important as a clean interior, which is why Oltec offers landscaping and grounds maintenance programmes tailored to the specific needs of your commercial estate. From seasonal planting and lawn maintenance to tree surgery and car park sweeping, our grounds teams keep your property looking professional throughout the year. As winter approaches, our winter gritting service provides scheduled and reactive salting and gritting treatments to footpaths, car parks, and access roads, reducing your liability and keeping your site accessible and safe for tenants, visitors, and staff during periods of ice and snow. Our Manchester-based and regional teams can respond rapidly when conditions deteriorate overnight or over weekends.
Oltec's manned security services provide professionally trained, SIA-licensed security personnel for commercial properties, retail sites, industrial estates, and managed developments. Our security operatives are experienced in access control, patrolling, and incident management, providing a visible deterrent and a reassuring presence for property managers who need to protect their assets and the people within them. We also offer commercial pest control services, providing BPCA-compliant treatments for rodents, insects, and birds across all types of commercial premises, ensuring your properties remain hygienic, compliant, and free from pest-related damage or reputational risk.
Proactive Compliance and Planned Maintenance Programmes
Planned preventative maintenance is the foundation of any effective facilities management strategy, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns, extending asset life, and ensuring your properties meet all statutory compliance obligations. Oltec delivers structured PPM programmes across a wide range of building systems and services, with all works logged, documented, and reported to give property managers full visibility and audit-ready records. Our PPM schedules cover emergency lighting testing and maintenance in line with BS 5266, as well as fire detection system servicing and inspection to BS 5839, keeping your buildings compliant with fire safety legislation and protecting both occupants and your insurance position. For clients across Manchester and the surrounding region, our local teams deliver consistent, scheduled visits without disruption to your tenants or day-to-day building operations.
Oltec's planned maintenance programmes include scheduled heating and ventilation maintenance across gas-fired, oil-fired, and electric heating systems, as well as air handling units, extract systems, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Our Gas Safe and F-Gas registered engineers carry out annual and interim servicing to manufacturer and industry standards, identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly reactive repairs. We also provide PAT testing services for commercial properties and managed workspaces, carrying out portable appliance testing to current IET Code of Practice standards and providing full test records and pass or fail labelling for all tested items, giving landlords and property managers the documentary evidence needed to demonstrate their duty of care.
Water hygiene treatment is a critical element of any compliant PPM programme, and Oltec delivers legionella risk assessments, water sampling, temperature monitoring, and dosing treatments in line with HSE L8 guidance and CIBSE TM8. Our water hygiene engineers work across commercial premises, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and residential managed estates to manage the risk of legionella and other waterborne pathogens. Property compliance works form the backbone of our wider PPM offering, encompassing all statutory inspections, certification, and remedial actions required to keep your buildings legally compliant, including EICR testing, fire risk assessments, and health and safety audits. Our Manchester and UK-wide teams provide a fully managed compliance calendar, so you never miss a critical inspection date.
