Bollom

J W Bollom Paints established in the 1970's as a family business and has been associated with the manufacture offire retardantanddecorative paints.With a shop in High Holborn in Central London they were perfectly placed to service the growing market for decorating homes and soon realised that this market could be extended into a new market that was unfolding the need for fire retardant coatings for not only steel but wood and spread of flame on masonry. With recent high profile fires in large council owned blocks of flats more and more councils and landlords are requiringintumescent coatings. Following the death of JackBollomin 2007 the company was split and Jacks two son's sold the fire retardant side of the business and focused onBriwax Woodworkingproducts.Tor Coatingspurchased the rights to manufactureBollom fire retardant coatingsfor structural steelwork, timber and broad wall as well as trim areas, and have grown this business from their manufacturing site in Birtley in Yorkshire.
