Specialist coatings protect the building and the people using it, so they have to be applied exactly to specification.

We apply certified fire-retardant coatings, anti-graffiti systems, anti-scuff finishes and protective coatings in line with current building safety standards and the manufacturer's data sheets. Film thickness, substrate preparation and curing conditions are controlled and recorded.

We have delivered fire-retardant systems inside seven live London Fire Brigade stations without disrupting emergency operations, as well as hard-wearing finishes in student accommodation, schools and communal areas.

What we deliver

Scope, covered.

Typical elements of a specialist coatings package. Every scope is confirmed at survey and priced line by line.

01

Fire-retardant coatings

Certified systems that limit surface spread of flame on walls, ceilings and timber.

02

Anti-graffiti systems

Sacrificial and permanent coatings that let graffiti be removed without repainting.

03

Anti-scuff finishes

Very hard-wearing finishes for corridors, stairwells and high-traffic communal areas.

04

Protective metal coatings

Primers and topcoats that resist corrosion on steel and railings.

05

Wipe-clean hygienic finishes

Scrubbable finishes for healthcare and food-prep environments.

06

Records & handover

Product data, batch details and application records for the building file.

Coating systems

Choose the right system.

Select a system to see where we use it, the substrates it suits and how it performs.

Fire-retardant

Fire-retardant coatings

Certified coatings that upgrade the surface spread of flame rating of existing walls, ceilings and timber without stripping them back. They suit fire stations, escape routes and communal areas.

Questions

Common questions.

If something isn't covered here, call the director directly on 07496 314491.

Do you provide records for fire-retardant work?

Yes. We supply the product data sheets, batch information and application records for the building safety file.

Can coatings be applied in operational buildings?

Yes. Across seven live London Fire Brigade stations we planned areas around crews and kept the stations fully operational.

Which manufacturers do you work with?

We apply the system that is specified. Where there is no specification, we recommend a certified system suited to the substrate and the rating required.
