Intumescent on the spray gun.

Fire-protection coatings on structural steelwork. Multi-storey car parks, warehouse frames, bridge work and exposed beams. Specced, primed, applied to thickness, signed off against your building-control pack.

What we deliver

How the Intumescent Coatings service works.

Specced, scheduled, paperwork on the day, signed off against your spec sheet. Out-of-hours where the site demands it.

F01

Spec-Thickness Application

We work to manufacturer DFTs, off the structural drawings or the FE schedule. Wet-film and dry-film checks logged every coat so the certs back up the inspection.

F02

Substrate Prep

Shot-blast, jet-wash or hand prep to the prep grade your spec demands. Galvanised, painted, or rusted steel each get the right primer pulled forward of the intumescent layer.

F03

Multi-Storey Car Parks

High-volume steel structures sprayed in sequence with the build programme. We work alongside the contractor, not against him, and keep the lifts moving.

F04

Bridge & Structural

Highways and rail structures coated to client spec. Out-of-hours possessions, RAMS to whichever framework your principal contractor reports against.

Common questions

Procurement-grade answers.

Questions we get on most intumescent coatings enquiries before pricing.

What thickness do you apply intumescent to?
Whatever the spec calls for. We work off your structural engineer's fire-resistance schedule. Typical sections are 30, 60 or 90 minutes. We dry-film-check every coat and log the readings.
Can you do it on an active site?
Yes. Most of our intumescent work is sequenced into a live build. We RAMS the work area, set up containment, and spray around other trades.
What about top coats?
Intumescent on its own can be patchy and chalk. We seal with a top-coat in the colour the client wants. Same team, same day, no second contractor.
Do you provide certs?
Yes. DFT readings, batch numbers, application dates and signed-off coverage sheets. Your building-control or principal-designer pack gets it inside a week of completion.
Other services

What else we spray.

Same team, same paperwork, different scope. One contractor across the building.

Brief us on the job.

Most enquiries start with a five-minute call to confirm scope, sector and shutdown window. Drawings or schedules ideal but not essential to get a price moving.
