Sectors We Serve

We deliver compliant structural steel fire protection across a wide range of commercial and industrial sectors. Our experience spans projects with differing fire strategies, access constraints and programme demands, allowing us to adapt our methodology while maintaining the same standards of preparation, controlled application and documented compliance on every site.
SECTORS

Where We Deliver Compliant Structural Steel Fire Protection

We deliver structural steel fire protection across sectors where regulatory compliance, programme coordination and technical control are essential. Each environment presents its own challenges — from live commercial buildings to high-risk industrial settings — and our approach adapts accordingly while maintaining the same standards of application, verification and certification.
Office Buildings & Mixed-Use Developments
Multi-storey office complexes, business parks and city-centre developments require robust steel fire protection to meet Approved Document B and ensure occupant safety during evacuation.
Retail & Public-Facing Developments
Shopping centres, retail units and public-facing buildings demand fire protection solutions that integrate cleanly with architectural finishes while meeting Approved Document B requirements. We coordinate closely with programme sequencing to minimise disruption during fit-out stages.
Manufacturing & Processing Facilities
Industrial environments demand fire protection systems that withstand challenging conditions, chemical exposure and high-temperature processes whilst maintaining structural integrity under fire load.
Infrastructure & Transport-Related Structures
Steel structures associated with infrastructure and transport projects often involve complex access, elevated works and live environments. Fire protection in these settings requires disciplined planning, controlled application and robust documentation to meet regulatory and stakeholder requirements.
Warehousing & Distribution Centres
Large-span steel structures in logistics facilities require precise fire-rating systems. Access constraints and operational continuity demand careful planning and sequencing with other trades.
Logistics, Warehousing & Distribution
Large-span steel structures within logistics and warehousing environments require fire protection systems that support operational continuity while meeting strict fire-resistance requirements. Our work is planned to accommodate access constraints, racking systems and phased occupation.
Delivery

How We Adapt to Each Sector

Every sector brings its own operational challenges. Before mobilisation, we consider live working environments, access and height constraints, programme sequencing and coordination with other trades to ensure fire protection works are delivered safely, efficiently and without disruption.
Standards

What Remains Constant

Compliance and precision underpin every project we deliver. Regardless of sector or scale, our approach is governed by clear standards, controlled application and documented verification.

Approved Document B

Regulatory Alignment
‍
All fire-protection systems are delivered in line with current building regulations and applicable fire safety requirements, supporting approval by building control and insurers.

Quality Assurance

Inspection, Recording and Certification

Each coat is inspected, verified and documented, providing full traceability and clear evidence of compliance at project completion.

WFT Control

Measured Application
‍
Wet Film Thickness is monitored throughout application to confirm the specified fire rating is achieved and maintained across all steel elements.
