Proper paint stripper with DCM in it (starchem stuff?), or mechanical removal with wire brush? or heat gun and scraper? - or a combo of the above? Acetone might soften it too.

Did they actually specify you need to remove the hammerite before painting with intumescent paint?

I assume you have no leverage over the builders now? I.e you don't owe them any money?

Assistance needed. Anyone got a tip for removing hammerite off a RSJ? We left one exposed when we removed a wall and the builders painted it black.
Building regs won't sign off on the house until we remove the hammerite and repaint with intumescent paint. Absolute fucking ball ache!
