For commercial & multi-residential property teams

Intumescent coatings

Prepare structural fire-protection coating projects for specialist discussion.

When this work is needed

A structural fire-protection coating project needs an agreed design basis, substrate information and a clear inspection and application scope. Existing coatings may require investigation before remedial work can be priced.

Typical projects

Coating works to a specified structural-steel package
Assessment of documented coating defects
Planned refurbishment affecting existing structural protection

What needs to be established

Provide the structural schedule, specified performance and available coating records. The specialist should establish system compatibility, preparation, application conditions, inspection requirements and the records to be supplied. PFL does not calculate required coating thickness or design the protection system.

A useful starting brief

Structural drawings, specified performance, existing coating records and site conditions.

Add the town, UK nation, building use, procurement stage and intended timescale. Unknown quantities and budgets can be clarified later.

Who this service is for

Managing agents, housing providers, facilities teams, commercial owners and organisations managing buildings or portfolios across the UK. Contractor availability is reviewed for each enquiry.

Practical questions

Before you get started

Can I enquire without a complete steel schedule?

Yes. Explain what information is missing so it can be identified as a requirement before a final quotation or application scope.

What should be agreed at handover?

Ask the specialist to define the application, inspection and product records appropriate to the specified system and the project requirements.

Requirements vary by building, project and UK nation. Technical advice and decisions about relevant fire-safety and building requirements remain with the appropriate professionals.
