Alpha Fire Protection will survey every beam, column and brace, calculate critical section factors and design a bespoke protection package that meets BS 476-21 and EN 13381-8 performance criteria.
Whether the solution calls for robust board encasements or thin-film intumescent coatings capable of delivering 30-, 60-, 90- or 120-minute ratings, we handle specification, installation and on-site quality assurance, recording dry-film or board thicknesses digitally for complete traceability.
From first consultation to annual maintenance inspections we liaise with designers, main contractors and building-control officers, update your digital fire-strategy file and keep critical projects on schedule with off-site finishing options. The result is a certified steel frame that stays standing long enough for safe evacuation and effective firefighting, protecting lives, assets and reputations.
Lets take a look at the statistics.
Robust non-combustible board systems wrap steel members, delivering predictable fire ratings, durable finishes, and minimal on-site disruption.
Thin-film coatings expand under heat, insulating structural steel for certified durations while preserving exposed aesthetics and accelerating programme timelines.
Beam encasements wrap steel members in factory-engineered, non-combustible boards that lock heat out, provide an instantly finished surface and withstand on-site knocks, delivering predictable fire resistance without wet trades or curing delays.
Key Components:
Intumescent spray coatings apply like paint yet, when exposed to fire, swell into a thick insulating char that shields steel for up to two hours while preserving slender profiles and exposed-steel aesthetics.
Inspection Checklist:
With broad, multi-sector experience, we specialise in delivering inspections in occupied buildings, providing our clients with all the information needed to make informed decisions on how to maintain passive fire safety in their buildings.
Arrange a site visit; we confirm access, scope, and safety, scheduling specialists to assess every beam and column.
We analyse calculations, exposure, and aesthetics, selecting optimal systems, timelines, and budgets to achieve required fire-resistance ratings.
Our accredited team installs, records QA evidence, and hands over certification packs, ensuring compliance, durability, and minimal disruption to operations.
