End-to-end fire-protection coating
Shot blasting and intumescent painting, delivered as one controlled system.
Where existing steel needs cleaning before fire-protection coating, Premier Blasting can take responsibility from abrasive preparation through to the specified finish.
Preparation creates the foundation for the coating system.
We use iron-silicate abrasive media to remove rust, mill scale and unsuitable existing coatings. Where Sa 2.5 is specified, the cleaned steel is inspected before the next coat is introduced.
- Containment and protection of adjacent areas
- Abrasive cleaning to the agreed standard
- Removal of dust and spent media
- Visual acceptance before primer application
Compatibility is treated as a system requirement.
The primer, intumescent layer and any decorative or protective topcoat must form an approved compatible system. Product selection and target coating build remain tied to the project specification and manufacturer requirements.
Fewer interfaces can reduce avoidable uncertainty.
A single delivery team can sequence preparation, primer and fire-protection coats around access, programme and environmental constraints.
Project planning sequence
How shot blasting and intumescent painting are delivered
Every project starts with its own issued information and workface conditions. This is the practical sequence used to define a coating scope before mobilisation.
Assess the existing steel
Review the condition of the substrate, existing coatings, surrounding surfaces, containment needs and the specified preparation standard.
Prepare the steel
Use the agreed abrasive-cleaning route, remove residue and dust, and inspect the prepared steel before the next coat is introduced.
Build the compatible system
Apply the approved primer, intumescent layer and any specified finish coat as a coordinated coating-system sequence.
Coordinate coating and access
Plan access, environmental conditions, recoat intervals and inspection points around the actual workface and programme.
Planned around the actual steel and access.
Our work is organised around the practical workface: steel geometry, access, protection measures and the specified coating route.

Discuss the projectDetailed visual description
A worker uses blasting equipment from an articulated boom lift to prepare structural steel. A later sequence shows spray coating from a scissor lift, then wider views of light-grey coated sections. Inspection activity is not shown.

Questions before mobilisation
Project details, answered clearly.
Early answers on scope, access and sequencing help the work package move forward with fewer assumptions.
Ask another question01Why use iron-silicate blasting media?
It is an expendable mineral abrasive suited to removing corrosion and existing coatings from structural steel. The exact media and method are selected against substrate condition, containment and the specified preparation standard.
02Can you confirm the required coating thickness from the fire rating alone?
No. The required build is system- and section-specific. We work from the approved product schedule, steel information, required resistance period and project specification.
03Can Premier Blasting provide both preparation and application?
Yes. Where the project requires it, one delivery team can complete abrasive preparation, compatible primer application, intumescent coating and the specified finish as one coordinated sequence.
Prepared. Applied. Coordinated.
