Clear product descriptions, availability and sizes at a reasonable price in a market that is expensive when you only need limited quantities. Followed up by prompt service with a smile.

Delivery options need revision

Nothing wrong apart from no option other than to pay £18.50 for overnight delivery (which I did not need) Also I had to be in to receive it as the courier would not leave it (not even in safe place)
For a small item this was an expensive purchase and I day wasted waiting for delivery.

Good Morning Tania

Thank you for your review, I'm glad we could get you the products you needed, and i am sorry for the troubles you had ordering.

Unfortunately price of shipping for the brand of products you purchased is contractually set by the manufacture and we are unable to adjust this. There is an option on our website for a 2/3 working day service on our website that is slightly cheaper, but this too is contractually set by the manufacture.

Regarding your delivery, unfortunately due to the nature of the products purchased, couriers will not allow this to be kept in a safe space without physically handing off to someone

I do hope we can help you further in the future

Outstanding service

Outstanding service! Having found myself, out of my depth and needing to seek building regs for steel flitch plates and an oak beam. The level of expertise, support and continual guidance from International Passive Fire has been nothing but excellent. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Particular thanks go to Andrew for his expertise and patience.

Intumescent Paint Order

Very easy ordering, quick delivery and sensible pricing for intumescent paint and undercoat. Possibly review shipping options as cost was quite high for the order size.

Product options

When asked on advice of a product for a special application they took it upon them self’s to research and write a detailed, engineering explanation on product options that they offer for the application we had. The breakdown was detailed and easy and very useful.

When the quote came it was very reasonable and delivery was very quick.

Something is missing.

Very well packaged, nice hand written note, bag of sweets but no instructions. Website says to contact their technical department. Surely emailing the specifications for application or including them in the delivery would save everyone’s time? Quite possibly the only tin of paint I’ve purchased that has zero application or cleaning instructions. Surely this is contrary to COSHH?

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the absence of the safety data sheets with your recent paint order. Typically, we send these data sheets via email along with the quotations, or physically with the paint shipment itself.

To assist you further, could you please provide us with your invoice number? This will enable us to verify the specific products you received and ensure we send you the correct safety data sheets promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,
Steven

Excellent communications and advice

Excellent communications and advice. Very quick to deal with my enquiry and order. I ordered paint for steel in a bathroom with little knowledge myself - Andrew Kilby was excellent in his guidance and technical support, spending a lot of time researching the best (and cheaper!) solution for me. Cannot recommend more. Many thanks.

An incredibly helpful company

An incredibly helpful company. We sent all of our measurements and requirements and they worked out exactly what fire proof paint we needed. We hadn’t realised how complicated that part would be (affected by factors such as type of steel used and where/how it was manufactured) and it needed to be exact for building regulations so it was lovely to have this element sorted for us. After their calculations we knew exactly which paint we needed, how many coats and how much of it. They also went above and beyond to source the best quote for us amongst all the many options available. We highly recommend.

First Class Customer Service

I needed a small amount of fire proof paint for some steel beams in my kitchen, in order to comply with Building Control Regulations.

When I contacted IPF, they went out of their way to help identify the right product, as well as confirming what kind of primer and top coat I needed.

They looked at the engineering drawings of my kitchen to confirm the gauge of the steelwork. Honestly, they were beyond helpful - and this was a tiny job for them.

I really cannot recommend them highly enough - absolutely brilliant.

Great delivery

I bought a pot of fire, retardant paint, and it arrived the next day exactly as they said it would.
Makes a big difference when I’m working on projects and things turn up when they should. So thanks very much.

Fire proofing doors

The website was user friendly and included clear and precise information about their products. The quantities of coating required were accurately calculated and provided by quick emails with the total product costs. I am impressed with the efficiency and helpfulness of the company and commend them to you.
