Ultra Protect

What Ultra Protect does

Ultra Protect (legal entity Ultra-Protect Limited) is a UK-based air quality consultancy and solutions provider founded circa 1989 and headquartered in Gravesend, Kent. The company sells and services industrial dust management systems (Dustblocker / Maxvac air scrubbers and dust extractors), commercial air purifiers (Maxvac Medi series with UVC, MedicAir Pro, Aircube range), respiratory protection equipment (CleanSpace PAPRs distributed in the UK), and wearable dust monitoring devices (DustLight / DustCanary), alongside real-time indoor air quality monitoring via a partnership with InBiot. Service offerings include internal air quality assessments, dust risk assessments, mould and odour assessments, RCS silica sampling, dust suppression, and ventilation services. The core technology stack combines third-party hardware (HEPA filtration, UVC purification, IoT sensors, PAPRs) with consultancy expertise around HSE and COSHH compliance and WELL Building Standard certification.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model: professional services revenue from assessments and ongoing monitoring/support engagements (quote-based pricing), hardware revenue from direct e-commerce sales with publicly listed unit pricing ranging from approximately £28.70 for accessories to over £15,000 for industrial dust extraction equipment, and recurring revenue from monitoring, training, and maintenance packages. Distribution is purely domestic (UK) through the company's own website, a dedicated sales line (0800 644 6605), and consultation-led engagements. Target customer segments are construction (primary), healthcare, hospitality, retail, education, and commercial offices — chosen for their regulatory exposure to dust, silica, mould, and indoor air quality obligations.

Operationally, Ultra Protect is a very small private company with 5 employees, no external funding rounds identified, and founder/management ownership. It depends on a network of technology partnerships (CleanSpace, InBiot, Vitec Microgenix) and a brand partnership with WWF to assemble its offering, meaning critical IP is held externally. With no disclosed revenue and a micro headcount, scale remains the principal constraint on growth.
