Intumescent Coating Service

What are Intumescent Coating Services?

Securak provides professional intumescent coating services across the UK, helping protect structural steelwork and other suitable building elements as part of passive fire protection systems. Our experienced team delivers carefully planned projects for commercial, industrial and public-sector properties, with a focus on safety, quality and reliable project delivery. Intumescent coatings are specialist fire-resistant materials that react to high temperatures by expanding and forming an insulating layer. This helps slow the heating of protected structural elements during a fire, providing valuable additional protection and supporting a building's overall fire safety strategy.

Surfaces are prepared appropriately to help ensure suitable adhesion and performance of the coating system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an intumescent coating be applied to existing steelwork?

Yes, where the existing structure and surface are suitable. Assess the condition of the steelwork and any existing coatings before selecting the appropriate preparation and coating system.

How does an intumescent coating work?

When exposed to high temperatures, an intumescent coating expands and forms an insulating layer around the protected surface. This helps slow the rise in temperature of the underlying structural element during a fire.

How much does an intumescent coating cost?

The cost depends on the size of the project, amount of steelwork, surface condition, preparation requirements, coating specification and access. Contact us for a tailored quotation.

Yes. Securak operates across the UK and provides intumescent coating services for commercial, industrial and public-sector projects.
