Compartment walls and floors in Argos Hill
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Argos Hill is about 35 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles west of Argos Hill) all have compartment walls crossed by services. Where a unit on an estate such as Millbrook Industrial Estate, 2.1 miles west of Argos Hill, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail.

Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise.

If you are dealing with unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Argos Hill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Other services in Argos Hill
Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
When to call us in Argos Hill
Linear gaps fail where a fire-resisting wall meets a slab, soffit or another wall. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
Look out for the following:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
In a building such as The Parish Church of St Denys, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Converted and older buildings near places like Argos Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

FAQs: Argos Hill
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Argos Hill?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is Argos Hill in your area?
Yes. We cover Argos Hill, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
