OUR PROCESS

What Happens After You Submit the Form?

01 — Initial Information Review
We review the project location, programme, proposed work scope and any documents supplied. This helps us establish whether enough information is available to begin preparing a quotation.
02 — Scope and Missing Information
If further information is required, we’ll explain what is missing. Depending on the project, this may include steel schedules, coating-system information, access details, photographs or a site assessment.
03 — Written Quotation
Once the application scope can be reasonably defined, we’ll prepare a written quotation setting out the included work, project assumptions, exclusions and any information that remains the responsibility of others.
SUITABLE PROJECT ENQUIRIES

Structural-Steel Coating Enquiries We Can Review

On-Site Intumescent Coating

Application to installed structural steel on new-build, refurbishment and remedial projects, planned around access, other trades, site controls and the accepted project information.

Pre-Install Intumescent Coating

Application before steel erection for suitable project scopes, coordinated around preparation, handling, transport, connections, site repairs and inspection.

Surface Preparation

Cleaning, mechanical preparation or abrasive blast-cleaning selected around the accessible steel condition and the requirements of the intended coating system.

DOCUMENTS THAT HELP US QUOTE

What Information Should You Send?

Not every project will have all of this information available at the enquiry stage. However, the following documents can help us understand the proposed application work:
  • Fire-resistance periods provided by the project team

  • Structural-steel or member schedules

  • Accepted coating-system information

  • Relevant drawings and steel quantities

  • Details of existing primers or coatings

  • Photographs showing steel condition and access

  • Tender deadlines and proposed programme dates

  • Site access, working-hour or sequencing restrictions

If important information is missing or conflicting, we’ll raise it with you rather than making assumptions about the project’s fire-protection design.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you provide an instant quotation?

No. Intumescent coating prices depend on factors including the steel members, required coating build, substrate condition, preparation, access, environment and programme. The quick quote form provides a faster route for initial review, but a written quotation can only be prepared when the application scope is sufficiently defined.

Can you quote without visiting the site?

In some cases, an initial quotation can be prepared using suitable drawings, steel schedules, specifications and photographs. A site assessment may be required where the existing steel condition, access, coating identity or proposed work area cannot be established from the information supplied.

What if an intumescent coating system has not been selected?

You can still send the enquiry. We can identify the application information that is missing, but the fire strategy, required fire-resistance period and accepted coating-system requirements must be confirmed by the appropriate project parties before the relevant application scope is finalised.

Will the quotation include assumptions and exclusions?

Yes. The written quotation will define the work included and identify the assumptions, exclusions and information used to prepare it. Changes to the steelwork, specification, access, programme or substrate condition may require the quotation to be reviewed.

Which areas do you cover?

Our core on-site coverage includes London, Greater London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Projects outside these areas are considered by prior agreement.

FAQ

Common Questions

Find answers to questions about our process, timelines and how we work.
How quickly will you respond?

We aim to make initial contact within 24–48 working hours. Response times may vary during busy project periods, but tender deadlines and genuinely urgent programme requirements can be identified when the enquiry is submitted.

What information do you need for a survey?

Where a site assessment is required, we’ll ask for the project location, proposed work scope, available drawings, fire-resistance information, coating-system details and relevant programme dates. The assessment may consider accessible steel condition, existing coatings, contamination, corrosion, access and work-area constraints.

Do you work outside London?

Our core on-site coverage includes London, Greater London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Projects outside these areas are considered by prior agreement, subject to the scope, programme and location.

How is my project information handled?

We use the information supplied to review and respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, prepare and manage the proposed project. Personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please avoid submitting sensitive information that is not relevant to the enquiry.

Can you provide a quote without a survey?

In some cases, an initial quotation can be prepared using suitable drawings, steel schedules, specifications and photographs. A site assessment may be required where the substrate condition, existing coating, access arrangements or extent of the proposed work cannot be established from the information supplied.

What types of projects can FireCoatings support?

We undertake structural-steel intumescent coating work for new-build, refurbishment and defined remedial projects. Our core service is on-site application to installed steel, with pre-install application available for suitable project scopes.

Do you provide both on-site and pre-install application?

Yes. On-site application is carried out after the steel has been installed. Pre-install application takes place before erection and is considered where the project scope, facility capacity, handling arrangements and construction programme make it suitable.

Can you work with existing or previously coated steel?

Yes, subject to the condition of the steel and the available information about existing coatings. Coating identity, adhesion, compatibility, contamination and corrosion may need to be established before preparation and overcoating requirements can be confirmed.

What should I include with my initial enquiry?

Useful information includes the site location, project programme, drawings, steel or member schedules, fire-resistance periods provided by the project team, coating-system information and photographs of the work area. If some information is unavailable, send what you have and we’ll identify any important gaps.

Can you work around live construction sites and other trades?

Yes, where suitable arrangements can be agreed. Application can be sequenced around access, exclusion zones, ventilation, nearby trades and programme requirements. The necessary controls are developed through the project-specific RAMS, COSHH assessment and site coordination process.

What application and handover records can you provide?

Depending on the agreed project scope, records may include product and batch information, application-condition checks, WFT and DFT readings, work-area references and records of identified repairs or deviations. The required documentation package should be agreed before work begins.

Does FireCoatings design the fire-protection specification?

No. The project’s fire strategy, structural fire design, required fire-resistance periods and accepted coating-system requirements must be established by the appropriate project designers and responsible parties. We deliver the agreed application scope using the accepted project information and relevant manufacturer documentation.
