Intumescent Paint Application Contractors Midlands

If you are looking for Intumescent Paint Contractors Midlands, Fire Fort provides certified intumescent paint application and structural steel fire protection for commercial, industrial and construction projects across the East Midlands, West Midlands and surrounding areas.

We work on serious passive fire protection projects including warehouses, data centres, shopping centres, retail units, industrial buildings, logistics sites, offices, schools, healthcare buildings, apartment blocks and commercial refurbishment works.

Fire Fort works directly with main contractors, developers, commercial property teams, structural steel fabricators, architects, project managers, quantity surveyors and site managers. We can price from structural steel drawings, steel schedules, fire strategy documents, required fire ratings, architect specifications, site photos and programme dates.

As experienced UK intumescent paint contractors and steel fireproofing specialists, we protect structural steelwork in line with approved fire strategy reports, manufacturer specifications and project handover requirements.

Intumescent coatings are fire protection paint systems applied to load-bearing structural steel. In a fire, the coating expands to form an insulating char layer, helping the steel maintain its load-bearing capacity for the specified fire rating period.

Where intumescent paint is typically required across the Midlands

We regularly apply certified intumescent paint systems to structural steelwork across various Midlands projects, including:

• Warehouses, logistics hubs and distribution centres
• Data centres, plant rooms and technical buildings
• Shopping centres, retail units and trade counter developments
• Industrial units, factories and manufacturing sites
• Offices, schools, healthcare buildings and public buildings
• Apartment blocks, residential developments and mixed-use schemes
• Commercial refurbishments, fit-outs and building conversions
• Exposed steel beams in churches, restaurants, bars and nightclubs where a fire rating is required

Fire resistance periods and compliance

We apply certified thin-film coatings to meet 30, 60, 90, and 120-minute fire ratings, based on the building's design, height and intended use. Our estimating team uses structural steel drawings, steel schedules and the required fire strategy to calculate the precise dry-film thickness (DFT) required for each steel section size.

Every application is carried out in accordance with ASFP standards and manufacturer specifications. We carry out wet-film thickness (WFT) monitoring during application and complete dry-film thickness (DFT) checks on completion. A full compliance certificate and thickness logs are issued to satisfy Building Control and project handover documentation requirements.

How projects are delivered on site

Fire Fort coordinates directly with project managers and site managers to keep intumescent paint works aligned with the site programme. Our teams manage access, working heights, masking, overspray control and sequencing around other trades. Environmental conditions such as humidity, steel temperature and dew point are checked so the coating system is applied correctly and in line with specification.

Passive fire protection across the Midlands

Alongside intumescent steel coatings, Fire Fort also provides wider passive fire protection services including fire stopping, penetration sealing, cavity barriers, compartmentation works and fire-rated sealing. Where specified, we can also advise on related fire retardant spray applications. Keeping steel fireproofing and compartmentation works with one contractor can make coordination, accountability and handover documentation simpler.
