PROTECTION
Our ICATS trained crews deliver protective coating systems for new build, refurbishment and maintenance projects in our 40,000 sq ft workshop facility and on-site across the UK and Ireland. Every scheme is inspected and rigorously tested by our in-house inspection team, with full and comprehensive reporting.
Surface Preparation and Blasting
Surface preparation is the single most important factor in the success of any corrosion protection system and it is where every IAP project starts.
Our trained and industry certified professionals provide abrasive blast cleaning, sweep blasting, hydro-blasting, vacuum blasting, UHP blasting and mechanical preparation, in our workshop and on-site. Call or email us to find out more.
Jet and Pressure Washing
We remove dirt, mould, mildew and surface contaminants from all hard exterior surfaces using professional jet and pressure washing systems restoring surfaces and preparing them for coating where required. Call or email us to find out more.
Industrial and Commercial Painting
From retail environments where finish matters to industrial facilities where durability is everything, our trained operatives apply high-quality coating systems using brush, roller and state-of-the-art spray systems. We work across the marine, aerospace, architectural, construction, automotive and retail sectors. Call or email us to find out more.
Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings thermally insulate structural steel and timber in a fire, preventing premature collapse and protecting life. IAP is a specialist applicator of two-pack epoxy intumescent systems with 30, 60, 90 and 120-minute fire ratings, and our operatives are Sherwin-Williams accredited applicators. Call or email us to find out more.
Waterproofing
Effective waterproofing protects buildings against mould, damage and structural failure. We install a full range of waterproof membrane systems for roofs, walls and foundations, specified to the demands of each project. Call or email us to find out more.
Tanking
Where below-ground structures sit in the water table, full tanking encapsulation is essential to resist hydrostatic pressure. We design and install tanking membrane systems for basements and below-ground structures under slab and walls. Call or email us to find out more.
Anti-slip Painting
Anti-slip floor coatings provide a heavily textured, hard-wearing finish for interior and exterior surfaces strong enough to withstand forklift traffic and chemicals in the busiest environments. Suitable for wood, metal, concrete and asphalt. Call or email us to find out more.
Anti-Skid
High Friction Surfacing reduces the risk of skidding on road surfaces and high-traffic areas. We apply both hot and cold applied systems using calcined bauxite aggregate, to specification. Call or email us to find out more.
Building Works & Civils
Supporting Every Stage of Your Project.
General Building Works & Civils
To support seamless project delivery, IAP operates a dedicated division providing general building works and small-scale civils, including enabling works, concrete repairs, minor structural alterations, joinery, cladding and reinstatement works. Managing these in-house removes interfaces, reduces programme risk, and keeps accountability in one place. Call or email us to find out more.
