Fire stopping for Bartley sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original, or a new specification from the designer.
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, not months later.
Fire stopping in Bartley, done properly
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 won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and penetration schedules that need working through. Whoever orders the work in Bartley, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Bartley still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What else we do in Bartley
Different surfaces, different methods
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, so we check before sealing.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach, and the right detail can be checked at the time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bartley. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Bartley: questions and answers
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Totton College?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Bartley?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Bartley, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Penetration seals near Bartley
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Bartley. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Bartley has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
In a school such as Bartley Church of England Junior School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. In a hotel such as The Bartley Lodge Hotel, which lies west of Bartley, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Hospital estates such as Tatchbury Mount Hospital (to the north-east of Bartley) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
