Established in 2002, Advanced Applicators has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider of Passive Fire Protection across the South Island. With over two decades of industry experience, we have developed specialist knowledge and practical expertise that allow us to deliver tailored, compliant solutions to projects of all sizes and complexity.
Originally founded by one of the early pioneers of Passive Fire in New Zealand, Jeff Mills, the company has grown steadily and adapted to the evolving needs of the construction industry. Today, it remains committed to quality, safety, and long-term client relationships.
Sadly, Jeff passed away on the 29th of September 2021 after a brave and lengthy battle with cancer. Jeff founded the business and was a pioneer of the Passive Fire Industry in New Zealand. Jeff’s knowledge was unparalleled from a practical point of view, and he built a team that is still able to provide a solution for the most complex situations that arise daily. In the years before Jeff became ill, he had his wife Fleur join him in the business, and she is happily carrying on as Managing Director to ensure Jeff’s legacy lives on.
We offer both Passive Fire Installation and Intumescent Coating services and are regularly engaged on major commercial, healthcare and education developments throughout the region. Our team brings together qualified installers, project managers, and technical specialists with extensive experience in passive fire protection. They hold relevant industry qualifications and take pride in being problem-solvers, working collaboratively with project teams to ensure fire safety compliance without unnecessary disruption or cost.
