Need Help?

Hi there, I have a steel structure in red oxide building control are asking for it to be coated in a fire proof paint I see you sell this but they are asking for a product that has a current BBA certificate or Fire test certificate, could you point me to the correct product please. Thanks Richard. 01480 812218


We do not offer any intumescent paints for steel that hold BBA certification due to them being unable to carry out fire testing. Instead they are reliant on fire test centres such as Exova, BRE etc. of which all the intumescent paints for steel we offer have been tested at such facilities and copies of certificates are freely available. 

In order for us to be able to advise which product would be best for your project, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;

  • Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
  • Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
  • Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
  • Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
  • Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
  • Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
  • Application on site or in shop

Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
