How we handle fire stopping in Badshot Lea
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you are dealing with fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can help, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Badshot Lea tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A job near Badshot Lea is usually planned around one visit, so send the specification and photographs first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
Owners, agents and contractors
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Badshot Lea can form part of a wider programme across Surrey.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
Common questions from Badshot Lea clients
Does your area include sites such as Preymead Industrial Estate, near Badshot Lea?
Yes, sites like Preymead Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Badshot Lea. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first. For buildings around smaller places like Badshot Lea, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
