| Table notes | ||||||
| Rates assume straightforward access and are for quantities in excess of 1000 m2. | ||||||
| Rates for boarded solutions are measured as the area of box required. | ||||||
| Rates for spray solutions are measured as surface area covered. | ||||||
| Rates for large section work will generally be at the lower end of the range or below. | ||||||
| Rates for small section work will generally be at the higher end of the range or above. | ||||||
| Rates for hollow sections will usually be higher than the rates shown. | ||||||
| Work at height (more than 5 m above ground level) may attract higher rates (7.5–10%). | ||||||
| Intumescent rates | ||||||
| These exclude blast cleaning of steelwork and primer coat, which is normally part of off-site steel preparation. | ||||||
| Off-site application rates may be 50% higher than the rates above. | ||||||
| Decorative top-coat sealer will add £2-3 per m2 to the rates above. | ||||||
| Boarded rates | ||||||
| These exclude any subsequent decoration. | ||||||
| Metal-faced boarding may attract rates of £50-85 per m2. | ||||||
