how it works

From Enquiry to Certification

Every project follows a structured methodology designed to ensure compliance, accuracy and certified fire protection. We manage the complete journey, transforming your requirements into compliant systems through rigorous survey, specification, preparation and application protocols.

Process

Eight Stages from Brief to Certified Protection

Each phase is documented, measured and verified. Nothing moves forward until the previous stage meets our standards.

Enquiry

You submit your project details and fire-rating requirements. We assess scope and feasibility.

Tender Review

We examine your specification, drawings and environmental conditions. Our pricing reflects the exact work required.

Site Survey

Our surveyors measure steel sections, assess substrate condition and document environmental factors on site.

Specification

We produce detailed system specifications including product selection, WFT requirements and application methodology.

Surface Preparation

Substrate is prepared to the required standard. Blasting, cleaning or mechanical abrasion ensures adhesion and performance.

Application

Coatings are applied in controlled layers by trained applicators. Environmental conditions are logged throughout.

Methodology

Three Principles That Define How We Work

Every project is built on measurement, accountability and regulatory alignment. We don't cut corners because fire protection cannot afford them.

Rigorous Measurement & Documentation

WFT is monitored at every layer. Environmental data is logged. Product traceability is maintained from delivery to application.

Compliance-Driven Specification

Systems are selected to meet Approved Document B, BS 476 and EN 13381. Every choice is justified and certified.

Structured Quality Assurance

Layer-by-layer inspection, environmental monitoring and final certification ensure your system performs as specified.

Certification

QA & Certification Built Into Every Project

Every project we deliver is supported by structured quality assurance and documented verification. From environmental monitoring and Wet Film Thickness control through to inspection records and certification, our process ensures each fire-protection system is applied correctly, verified on site and signed off with full confidence in its performance.
