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.

Surface Preparation Methods

Different substrate conditions require different preparation techniques. We assess corrosion levels, existing coatings and site constraints to specify the most appropriate method for compliance and long-term performance.

Surface Prep

Abrasive Blasting

Abrasive blasting used to remove coatings, corrosion, and surface contaminants, providing a clean, profiled substrate for long-term coating performance.

Surface Prep

Dry Ice Blasting

Non-abrasive surface preparation for removing contamination, failing coatings and residues without damaging the substrate. Particularly suited to sensitive environments and refurbishment works.

SECTORS

Supporting Projects Across Lincolnshire

We support a wide range of project types throughout Grantham, including:

Commercial and office developments
Industrial and logistics facilities
Public sector and infrastructure projects
Refurbishment and refurbishment-led fire upgrades
New-build construction projects

Our teams are experienced in working within live environments, coordinating with other trades, and meeting strict programme requirements without compromising safety or quality.

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.

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.
