Surface Treatment

Safeguarding against corrosion extends the lifespan of your assets, reducing maintenance and ensuring structural integrity. Different jobs require different types of surface treatment; we support our clients in choosing the most suitable. The impact and longevity of any protective coating relies on the appropriate surface preparation techniques being carried out prior to application.

Intumescent Coatings

Intumescent Coatings are a passive fire protection method used to improve safety in buildings and structures in case of fire. When exposed to heat, intumescent coatings expand to reduce conduction, increasing the time it takes for the structure to weaken.

Airtight Coatings

Airtight Coatings create a continuous seal around the surface of application, reducing or eliminating vapour and air leaks through cracks in the fabric of a building. They are suitable for both refurbishment projects and new builds on a range of surfaces.

Resin Injections

Resin injections provide a solution for any problems involving damp, water-leaking cracks and structural cracks. It is commonly used to reinforce retaining walls, abutments, tunnels, underground pipes, or any other concrete or masonry structures.

Coatings & Linings

We utilise a number of other protective coating technologies including polyurethane, epoxy, zinc-rich coatings, acrylics, alkyds and linings. This is not an exhaustive list and various environments may require coatings adapted to the application.

Choosing the correct surface TREATMENT

All of our surface treatment techniques must be carried out safely with the proper training, equipment, protection and techniques in order to ensure compliance with the legal health and safety requirements and guidance, compliance with your own company policies, and finally, a high quality finish.

The choice of method depends on the type of surface, as well as your desired effect and use of your asset. Effective preparation prior to the application of a protective coating is critical for ensuring the durability, adhesion, and longevity of coatings or finishes applied to a substrate, and we can help you understand the best method (or methods) to use for your project.

We work with ICORR and SSPC certified inspectors to guarantee compliance and quality. View our full list of accreditations including ConstructionLine Gold and Acclaim Health & Safety on our about page.
