G&A is one of the UK’s leading intumescent painting contractors, with extensive in-house experience and expertise in the specification and application of intumescent paint.
Applied to structural elements like steel beams, columns, and timber frames (as well as concrete soffits in specific situations), intumescent coatings are a powerful tool in passive fire protection.
When exposed to high temperatures they expand, insulating the underlying material from heat, maintaining the structural integrity of the element for longer and providing crucial protection for both buildings and the lives of their occupants.
The coatings we use represent the latest in intumescent paint technology, suitable for both internal and external applications, and meet the latest industry standards and all relevant building codes.
Intumescent coatings require regular inspections and maintenance. These inspections, typically conducted annually by the building owner, involve a thorough examination for any signs of damage, wear, or environmental impact.
