02 · On-site work
Is treatment completed on site?
Much of our London work is completed on site.
Curtains can remain hanging while they are cleaned and treated. Installed artificial plants, displays, fabric installations and decorative materials can also be treated at the venue.
Smaller loose items may be treated at our Colchester workshop when this is more practical.
03 · Documentation
Will a certificate be supplied?
Yes. After treatment and payment, a Certificate of Fire Retardant Treatment is supplied.
The certificate records:
- The items or materials treated

The certificate can be retained with the venue’s fire-safety, insurance and project records.
