FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What can you treat?
We have a long list of species with many final applications that we can treat. Rather than list them here, please see our Classification Tables for more information on what we can treat.
How is FireWright treatment priced?
We price for our impregnation and kilning service based on m3. We also have our own fleet of HGVs offering collection of your material and delviery for an extra cost.
What do I get for the service price?
Unlike most fire retardant timber treatment providers, we offer a full service solution. This means we can collect, treat, dry and deliver your material as a package or you can drop your material off for the treatment service only. You also are provided with a Declaration of Performance and Constancy of Performance with your order. This offers customers full traceability and everything needed for a UKCA/CE mark.

How often does the treatment need re-applying?
It does not need re-applying. Our service is an impregnation treatment, this means the FireWright treatment is embodied into the cell structure of the timber making the treatment last the lifetime of the timber.
What is the FireWright treatment lead time?
Lead time varies depending on what is being treated. Scaffold boards are not put into the kiln for drying post treatment so they have a faster lead time of 2-3 days. Other materials using our kilning facility will be between 3 and 6 weeks.
What is the minimum / maximum order?
Our minimum order is 2.2m3 and we have no upper limit.
What colour is the treatment and will my timber look different after treatment?
Our treatment is a clear, water based liquid treatment leaving little to no effect on the treated material. On rare occasions, there may be slight discolouration due to PH and acid levels in the timber.
Does using FireWright treatment make me compliant?
Yes. Unlike most fire retardant timber treaters, we provide a Declaration of Performance and Constancy of Performance. We provide full traceability on all treated material and provide customers with all the required documentation to meet UKCA/CE mark.
Can I cut, drill or sand the material once it's been treated?
Yes. Unlike coatings, FireWright's treatment process impregnates the material and applies the treatment to the cell structure of the timber.
Can I get this treatment anywhere else in Great Britain?
No. WJ FireWright are the only provider of this treatment in Great Britain. Better yet, we're able to provide delivery and collection with our very own HGV fleet. Our facility is also ideally located to offer minimum orders of 2.2m3.
Where does FireWright treatment fall in the Euroclass System?
FireWright's treatment is to Euroclass b,s-1,d0 specification.
How does the FireWright treatment work?
Our treatment is a highly effective and non-toxic fire retardant. It is consisting of only purely natural ingredients combined in a patented formula. The treatment effectively prevents oxygen from reaching the treated object – and without oxygen: no fire.
Has FireWright been in any notable projects?
Yes! We're proud of some of the projects we've been involved in across the UK. We're always adding to our case studies and we'd love to add your project on there too. View some of our previous work here -> Case Studies.
