Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Fire stopping in Addiscombe
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Addiscombe first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Fit-outs and M&E works in London buildings often leave service penetrations open behind ceilings and in risers. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Do you need fire stopping in Addiscombe?
Openings in fire-resisting walls normally appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Openings left by services added after handover
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Shirley Oaks Hospital, under half a mile east of Addiscombe, all have compartment walls crossed by services.
What to look for in a quote
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

What else we do in Addiscombe
Fire-rated sealing for Addiscombe buildings
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Addiscombe. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. In London buildings, frequent fit-outs and M&E changes are a common reason fire stopping gets breached. We install fire-rated sealant where it is specified and work within the building manager’s permit system.
In a hotel such as Croydon Park Hotel, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Addiscombe, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. On a site such as Chaffinch Business Park, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Addiscombe, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
Addiscombe is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London. Looking for fire stopping in Addiscombe? We can help, as we do across Greater London. We work across 764 places in Greater London. London is covered too, around 8 miles from Addiscombe.

What affects the price in Addiscombe
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, though larger ones normally call for a collar or wrap. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range, and the detail may call for board patching or another product.
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Addiscombe, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
