Sentinel is a built-in fire protection contractor with extensive expertise providing technical solutions in the design and installation of complex passive fire protection systems.
Headed up since 2012 by industry leading practitioner Arthur Nelmes, the division has been instrumental in improving the standard of fire protection design & installation across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East, benefiting construction industry partners and the clients they serve.
‘The building is fire safe from cradle to grave’. At Sentinel this means we provide an accurate, cost effective method for recording design, supply and installation works. This includes Unique Identification Numbers, making pinpointing fire stopping seals through the fire compartment walls and floors of the building straightforward and easily traced by the client, landlord or building manager.
Sentinel has successfully delivered multimillion-pound commercial decorating projects for many of the UK’s leading construction companies and achieved preferred status with Tier 1 main contractors.
Our extensive and diverse portfolio of projects – including K1 Knightsbridge, Kingston University Townhouse, 60 London Wall, and Papworth Hospital – endorses our reputation for managing and delivering complex and valuable schemes on time and on budget.
Today, we are recognised by clients and main contractors as the decorating contractor of choice for progressive projects with complex environmental challenges. This is a result of our work to mitigate the impact of decorating on the environment, as well as solutions to meet WELL building standards, which take a holistic approach to health in the built environment.
One of the most effective forms of passive fire protection is Intumescent Paint. This specialised coating expands when exposed to heat, forming a thick, insulating layer that shields structural elements from the intense heat of a fire.
Sentinel Contracting Plc continues to set the standard in fire protection and commercial decorating, demonstrating our eco expertise through two significant projects.
