Protecting Buildings with Fire Safety Shortfalls
Fire safety compliance is a critical responsibility for every building owner and property manager in Sunderland. If your premises have been identified as having fire safety issues - such as a failed fire risk assessment, inadequate fire suppression systems, or breaches flagged by the fire authority - you cannot afford to delay. Oltec FM specialises in providing immediate waking watch and fire marshal coverage for buildings that fall below safety standards. Our experienced team will ensure your property is monitored, protected, and brought back into full compliance as quickly as possible.
Fire Marshal Services Including Full Evacuation Planning
In the event of a fire, a clear and practised evacuation strategy saves lives. Yet many commercial and residential buildings in Sunderland lack an up-to-date, tested evacuation plan - leaving occupants vulnerable and owners exposed to legal liability. The Oltec Group offers comprehensive fire marshal services that include the development and review of evacuation strategies tailored to your specific building layout and occupancy. Our dedicated team will assess your current procedures, identify any gaps, and ensure that a fully compliant evacuation plan is in place and communicated to all building users.


How Waking Watch Officers Help Prevent Fire Spread
The sooner a fire is detected and responded to, the greater the chance it has of being contained before causing widespread damage. Oltec Services understands this principle and has built its waking watch and fire marshal services around it. Operating across Sunderland, our rapid response officers patrol your building continuously, monitoring for signs of fire and potential fire hazards at all times. This proactive approach significantly increases the likelihood of early containment, reducing the risk of escalation and giving emergency services the best possible chance of a controlled response.
24/7 Fire Brigade Liaison and Rapid Response
When a fire or fire hazard is identified, Oltec's waking watch officers do not wait - they act. Our officers are trained and authorised to contact the local fire brigade at the earliest sign of danger, and will continue to liaise with fire crews from the moment they arrive on site. Based in Sunderland, our rapid response team patrols your building continuously, scanning for any signs of fire or fire risk. This dedicated, hands-on approach means that potential hazards are spotted early, and the fire brigade is always informed and prepared to respond without delay.
