Sectors We Support

Structural-Steel Projects We Support

We support project teams across commercial, retail, industrial, infrastructure and logistics settings. Each project is planned around the accepted design information, required fire-resistance period, steel geometry, environment, access, programme and site controls.

Office Buildings and Mixed-Use Developments

On-site application for office and mixed-use projects, coordinated with the accepted fire and structural design information, fit-out sequence, access requirements and required finish.

Retail and Public-Facing Developments

Application and repair work can be planned around public-facing finishes, phased fit-out, access restrictions and agreed work areas, with coating requirements taken from the accepted project information.

Manufacturing and Processing Facilities

Manufacturing environments may involve chemical exposure, heat, restricted access and live operations. The selected coating system and exposure classification must be confirmed before the application scope is agreed.

Infrastructure and Transport-Related Structures

Infrastructure and transport projects can involve complex access, work at height, operational interfaces and project-specific standards. Early coordination helps define the preparation, application, inspection and record requirements.

Warehousing and Distribution Centres

Large-span steelwork and extensive member schedules require careful access, sequencing and inspection planning around the construction or operational programme.

Refurbishment and Existing Buildings

Existing coatings, corrosion, restricted access and incomplete records can complicate refurbishment work. Surveys, preparation trials and technical queries help the project team define an accepted preparation and coating scope.

Delivery

Planning Around Each Project Environment

Before mobilisation, we consider operational restrictions, access, height, sequencing, containment and interfaces with other trades. This helps us plan the agreed scope safely and reduce avoidable disruption.

Standards

Controls Applied Across Our Projects

Although site conditions vary, every project requires clear inputs, suitable preparation, controlled application and records appropriate to the agreed FireCoatings scope.

Accepted Project Information

Fire and Structural Requirements
‍
We work from the fire-resistance requirements, member information and selected system documentation accepted for the project.

Application & Inspection Records

Defined QA RequirementsInspection, Recording and Certification

Application and inspection records are completed as defined for the project and document the activities included in our scope.

WFT & DFT Controls

Wet and Dry Film Checks
‍
WFT helps control wet coating build during application. Final DFT is assessed separately after sufficient drying where included in the inspection scope.

Partners

Working With the Wider Project Team

We coordinate with main contractors, fire engineers, structural designers, steelwork contractors, quantity surveyors and project managers. Clear interfaces help identify who supplies, accepts and reviews the information required for our work.

From the Founder

“After a decade in the protective coatings industry, I built FireCoatings to deliver fire protection without unnecessary noise — just clear documentation, a controlled application process, and professional site practice.”

Assurance

Application Controls & Clear Records

Depending on the agreed scope, our records may cover products, work areas, application conditions, WFT, DFT, photographs and repairs. They support wider project review without guaranteeing building-control, insurer or third-party acceptance.
