Education Sector: Exeter Cathedral School
Ftec have a long-standing relationship with Exeter Cathedral School.
We support their in-house maintenance staff in providing a range of compliance services, reactive repairs and mechanical and electrical installs and maintenance.
We were called in by the Estate Manager following a reported fault on the cylinder in the main house basement.
The cylinder was rated with a max working pressure of 1bar. After calculations were carried out, we assessed that the head pressure from the cold-water storage tanks in the loft were 1.6bar deeming the working pressure on the existing to be too low.
A Pressure build up over time caused leak to occur between the joint on the central heating and cold water which caused the basement to flood. Repairs could not be carried out due to heavy corrosion on the connections and one of the cylinders.
Our team drained down and removed the copper cylinder and associated pipework. The cylinder was replaced with modern version stainless steel tank. A full pipework installation and alterations to the vent pipework were also carried out before refilling and testing.

BMW & Mini Garage
Our team of engineers at F-Tec were contacted by the managers at both the BMW and Mini garages in Exeter, Devon to carry out planned maintenance on their Daikin air conditioning units.
Upon arrival, our specialist air conditioning engineers used their professional diagnostic equipment to find any faults and to check for performance issues within the system.
The diagnostics did not show any signs of faults or performance issues, and so we replaced the cover on the air conditioning unit and informed the managers of our findings. As this was a planned maintenance, we will continue to carry out regular checks and repairs at quarterly intervals for BMW and Mini. At F-Tec we will supply our clients with time scales and notify them of when their air conditioning unit as well as other facilities need servicing.

The Palace Hotel, Torquay
F-Tec were contacted by Palace Hotel in Devon to carry out a scheduled boiler maintenance on their Hoval boiler. Upon arrival, the management team allowed us access to the boiler room and our specialist boiler engineers were able identify areas of improvement.
With their reliable diagnostics equipment, our expert engineers were able to check for any faults and issues with the boiler system, as well as its performance rate.
Fortunately, the boiler did not have any faults or issues, and so after notifying the management we were able to lock up the boiler room.
In the past we have done a range of maintenance jobs for the Palace Hotel and became a very integral part of the functioning of their hotel. We were largely involved in the annual compliancy maintenance of the hotel as our engineers were able to understand the complexity of working with a very old establishment. Our team of engineers over the years have carried out plumbing, electrical (renewed the distribution board) and many other services which have largely benefited the hotel. Our team were able to identify the cause of a leak in the building through internal investigation even though other contractor firms were unable to locate it.
