Intumescent Painting Services in Burton-on-Trent

Burton's brewing industry features extensive steel structures in high-humidity environments with elevated fire risks from brewing processes, grain handling, and alcohol production. Intumescent coatings provide essential passive protection that can withstand humid conditions, protecting structural integrity in case of fire - a key concern for insurance providers in high-risk brewing environments.

For brewing facilities, we specify intumescent systems with enhanced humidity resistance and chemical tolerance, often incorporating specialised primers that withstand the unique combination of moisture, temperature fluctuations, and potential chemical exposures found in different areas of brewing plants.

For converted brewery buildings and maltings, we conduct detailed assessments of the original steelwork, often using breathable, vapour-permeable intumescent systems that protect historic fabric while providing required fire resistance for new uses like offices, apartments, or commercial spaces.

We regularly work with continuous brewing facilities in Burton, developing phased application plans that align with brewing cycles, tank cleaning schedules, and maintenance windows. For critical 24/7 operations, we implement shift working and targeted containment to allow brewing to continue during application.

For Burton's brewing environments, we specify intumescent systems with enhanced chemical resistance to brewing-related substances, often incorporating specialised epoxy or polyurethane topcoats that protect against humidity, temperature cycling, and specific chemical exposures in different brewery areas.

We supply full system certification from specialist manufacturers, FIRAS installation certificates, and detailed technical specifications that satisfy East Staffordshire Council building control requirements for both industrial facilities and heritage brewery conversions.
