Initial survey

We measure steel sections, assess substrate condition and determine fire-rating requirements. Environmental factors and existing coatings are evaluated to inform specification.

Surface preparation

Substrate is prepared using the appropriate method—dry ice blasting, shot blasting, mechanical abrasion or cleaning—to ensure adhesion and coating integrity.

Intumescent application

Multi-coat systems are applied with continuous WFT monitoring. Environmental conditions are logged throughout to maintain performance standards.

Certification and handover

Final WFT verification, product traceability records and compliance documentation are issued. Your project is signed off and ready for building control approval.

How much do intumescent coatings cost in Camberley, Surrey?

The cost of intumescent coatings in Camberley can vary depending on the required fire rating, the size and complexity of the steelwork, access conditions, and the level of surface preparation needed. Projects across Surrey range from straightforward on-site applications to more complex schemes involving blasting, priming, and full specification control. For this reason, accurate surveying and specification are essential to producing reliable budgets.

Meeting fire protection and building control requirements in Camberley

All intumescent coating works in Camberley must comply with building regulations, fire test certification, and project-specific specifications. Our projects across Surrey are delivered in line with manufacturer requirements and supported by full QA documentation, thickness records, and certification packs for building control and handover.

Understanding fire ratings for structural steel in Camberley

Fire ratings for structural steel in Camberley typically range from 30 to 120 minutes depending on building use, occupancy, and structural strategy. Each rating corresponds to a tested coating thickness and system build-up, which must be applied accurately to achieve the required performance.

Depending on programme and logistics, intumescent coatings in Camberley can be applied either on-site or off-site in controlled conditions. Across Surrey, we regularly advise contractors on the most efficient approach based on access, programme constraints, and quality control requirements.

The importance of proper surface preparation in Camberley

In Camberley, correct surface preparation is critical to the performance of intumescent coatings. For projects in Camberley and across Surrey, we specify mechanical preparation, abrasive blasting, or dry ice blasting depending on substrate condition and system requirements.

why
Why Fire Protection
Steel loses strength fast
Structural steel weakens rapidly above 550°C, risking catastrophic failure without protection.
Intumescence expands under heat
Applied coatings expand when exposed to fire, creating an insulating char layer.
Compliance is non-negotiable
Approved Document B, BS 476 and EN 13381 mandate fire-rated protection on structural steel.
