Intumescent Paint Contractors Birmingham | Steel Fire Protection Experts – Fire Fort
Based in the West Midlands, Fire Fort are trusted intumescent paint contractors in Birmingham. We provide certified passive fire protection for developers, contractors, and building owners across the city. From major commercial projects in Birmingham City Centre and Edgbaston to industrial estates in Aston, Solihull, and Smethwick, our team delivers fully compliant intumescent paint applications that safeguard structural steel in line with UK fire regulations.
Intumescent paint application is one of the most effective fire protection methods for structural steel. Once exposed to fire, the coating expands to form an insulating layer, slowing heat transfer and preventing the steel from reaching critical failure temperatures. Fire Fort’s systems deliver 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes of fire resistance for projects across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
We apply intumescent coatings for a wide variety of Birmingham projects, including:
- ✅ Steel columns in high-rise residential and student apartments
- ✅ Structural steel beams in shopping centres, supermarkets, and retail parks
- ✅ Fire-rated steel decking in warehouses and distribution centres
- ✅ Healthcare facilities such as hospitals, surgeries, and care homes
- ✅ Schools, colleges, and universities across Birmingham
- ✅ Office blocks, factories, and industrial developments in the West Midlands
Our Birmingham intumescent paint applicators work across the whole West Midlands — from Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter to Solihull, Wolverhampton, and Dudley. Every project includes DFT (dry film thickness) checks, manufacturer-approved systems, and full Building Control certification.
