Fire stopping for Aylesbury sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For premises in central Aylesbury, deliveries and parking need a bit of planning, while out-of-town estates normally have yards and car parks. Either way, tell us what’s available.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
About our fire stopping in Aylesbury
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. If you have seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Aylesbury? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
A large place such as Aylesbury tends to have hospitals, schools, offices and care homes, all with compartment walls and floors. Every pipe, cable or duct through those walls and floors needs a seal that matches its tested detail.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Aylesbury clients
Can work at a site such as University Campus Aylesbury Vale fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Aylesbury?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers before sealing.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Aylesbury. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Fire stopping around Aylesbury: points for this area
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Aylesbury. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. Aylesbury is about 38 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls.
Tenant changes at centres like Friars Square (under half a mile south-east of Aylesbury) often mean new services through walls between units. For a site team at a college like Buckinghamshire College Group (less than half a mile south-west of Aylesbury), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. Refits at places like Cambridge Close Retail Park, under half a mile north-east of Aylesbury, often reroute services through walls between units.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Which sealant the job calls for
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
