Intumescent paint,
applied off-site
and on-site.
SSL Environmental Group coats structural steelwork in our temperature-controlled facility before it ships, and sends spray teams to site for in-place coating, remedials and touch-ups — fire-rated, finished and signed off either way.
Fabricators, main contractors and infrastructure clients across the UK.
Our Certificates
We are passionate about acquiring certifications from trusted and recognised organisations that reflect our commitment to professionalism, safety and quality assurance on every project.
Our Manufacturers
We take pride in partnering with trusted manufacturers who share our commitment to quality and innovation. Each one upholds the highest standards to ensure our coatings meet your expectations for reliability and performance.
Everything the steel needs, under one roof.
Intumescent Fire Protection
Thin-film systems sprayed to 30, 60, 90 or 120 minute ratings — cured indoors, measured member by member.
Protective Industrial Finishes
Blast, prime and topcoat packages built around the exposure class your steel will actually live in.
Rail, Bridge & Highways Steel
Sector-compliant paint systems for infrastructure frames, gantries and access structures.
Site Teams & Remedials
Mobile sprayers for damage in transit, erection touch-ups and anything that has to happen on site.
Choose the right way to coat your steel.
We do both, and many projects use a mix of the two. Here is how to tell which suits your job.
Off-site, in our facility
Best when the steel hasn't been erected yet.
- New-build frames coming straight from the fabricator
- Tight site programmes where fire protection would hold up other trades
- Specs needing controlled heat and humidity to cure
- Higher fire ratings and thicker coats applied in one controlled run
On-site, by our spray teams
Best when the steel is already in place.
- Existing buildings, refurbishments and change of use
- Repairs to damage from transport or erection
- Connections, welds and touch-ups after the frame goes up
- Steel too large or fixed to move to a facility

A controlled booth beats a windy site.
On most steel-frame jobs, fire protection is the trade everyone waits on. Pull it back into a heated facility and the variables disappear: no rain stops, no access clashes, no half-cured coatings. What leaves our doors is finished work, not a job to finish later.
- Stable heat and humidity, so film build is repeatable
- Approved applicators across every major intumescent system
- Wet and dry film readings documented member by member
- Weeks off the site programme and one less trade to sequence
Three reasons the steel leaves us finished.
Coating indoors is not just tidier — it changes the programme, the paperwork and the finish your client sees on handover day.
Cured Properly
Heated booths hold the conditions the datasheet asks for, so every coat cures the way it was designed to.
Predictable Dates
Booth slots are booked against your fabrication plan, so deliveries land when the crane is waiting.
Evidence, Not Promises
Film thickness, adhesion and system data travel with the load — ready for the fire engineer.
Sprayed, strapped down, shipped.
Four steps from schedule to site.
Read the Steel
Section factors, fire engineer's schedule and paint spec checked line by line before we price a thing.
Lock the Slot
Booth time booked against your fabrication dates, with RAMS, ITP and data sheets in your inbox first.
Spray & Record
Blast, prime, intumescent, topcoat — wet and dry film readings logged for every single member.
Load Out
QA pack travels with the load. Steel lands on site cured, protected and ready for the crane.
The verdict from the yard.
"Steel turned up coated, DFTs recorded and paperwork faultless. Took a full trade off our site programme."
"Fast quoting, honest lead times and a finish our client actually noticed. Exactly what an offsite partner should be."
"DFT readings were spot on across the frame and the coating held up through transport and erection with no touch-ups."
