Structural Fire Protection in Bristol & The South West

Structural fire protection is essential for preserving structural integrity and safeguarding lives in the event of a fire. Although steelwork is non-combustible, high temperatures can weaken its core, reducing the structure’s ability to withstand loads. That’s why we provide tailored fire protective solutions for buildings across Bristol and the South West.

Whether you’re working on a new development or upgrading an existing structure, our intumescent fire protection systems are designed to meet modern safety standards, reduce risk, and extend the life of your structure. From fire-resistant coatings to passive protection methods, we help ensure your fire protection performs as intended when it matters most.

Why Fire Protection Matters

Understanding how fire affects structural steel is key to choosing the right protective system. These are the most common reasons we recommend fire protection.

Structural Performance

Fire protection preserves the load-bearing capacity of steelwork during high-temperature events, reducing the risk of failure. 30 to 120 minute applications are available.

Protecting Strucutral Steelwork

Fire resistance in structural steel sections can be achieved by the use of external fire protection, usually thin film intumescent coatings applied by airless spray.

Selecting the Right System

We specify the most suitable fire protection products and methods based on the structure, location, and level of risk.

Building Regulations

Our fire protection solutions help ensure compliance with UK safety standards, warranties, and inspection requirements.

Upgrading Fire Safety

Older structures may lack passive fire protection. We retrofit modern systems to bring them up to standard.

Safer Design Decisions

By understanding your building’s fire performance needs, we help you plan long-term, code-compliant protection strategies.

Our Fire Protection Services

Fire-Resistant Coatings

Specialist coatings applied to steelwork, woodwork, walls and ceilings help withstand extreme heat and prevent structural damage during a fire.

Intumescent Coatings

Intumescent coatings are very widely used as passive fire protection for structural steel due to a range of advantages which include: Good aesthetic finish and adaptability to the shape of steel, this enables the steel to be exposed as well as protected.

Airless Spray Applications

Thick, durable spray-on materials that add passive fire resistance to load-bearing structures in large-scale commercial and industrial settings.

Passive Fire Protection

Intubatt boards to reinstate the fire performance of compartment walls and floors which have been breached by penetrating services, providing a fire, smoke, thermal, acoustic and air pressure seal. 30 to 120 minute applications

Retrofitting Fire Protection

Upgrading older structures with modern passive fire protection to meet current building and insurance requirements.

Fire Protection Surveys

Site inspections and technical advice to help you select the right fireproofing system for your building’s structure. From 30, 60 and 120 minute fire rated applications available.

Our Work in Action

Watch our team apply fire protection systems that meet the highest safety standards. From intumescent coatings to fire board installation, each step is performed with care to safeguard structural steel and prevent the spread of fire, helping clients meet compliance requirements with confidence.

How We Work

Our fire protection process is built around safety, compliance, and expert application. We work closely with you to ensure each system performs under pressure.

Step 1: Assess the Risk

We inspect your site or plans to determine the required level of fire resistance based on building use and regulations.

Step 2: Specify the Right System

Our team selects the most appropriate fire protection method, considering exposure levels, building type, and budget.

Step 3: Apply Fire Protection

We install the chosen system using approved techniques and materials, ensuring correct coverage and loadings.

Step 4: Final Check

We carry out a full inspection, confirm the work meets fire safety standards, providing documentation and certification if needed.
