Nationwide Passive Fire Protection Specialists

GI Sykes is a nationwide approved fire protection contractor with over 55 years of experience delivering reliable fire protection coating solutions for commercial and industrial properties across the UK. Using industry-leading products from trusted brands such as Nullifire, Jotun, Quelfire, Tor Coatings, Bollom, Keim, ICI Pyroshield and Leighs, we apply high-performance intumescent coatings that expand when exposed to extreme heat, forming a protective layer around structural elements. This helps prevent structural failure and can provide between 60 minutes and two hours of fire resistance, giving valuable time for evacuation and reducing potential damage to buildings and businesses.

Our specialist technicians are fully trained in the application of passive fire protection systems for steel, timber, plastered and previously coated surfaces, ensuring every project meets strict fire safety regulations. Whether working on new developments or refurbishment projects, GI Sykes provides a professional and efficient service that prioritises safety, durability and compliance. With decades of industry expertise, we help building owners and managers protect their structures, safeguard occupants and achieve complete peace of mind.
