Fire stopping in Bashley, done properly
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance. The enquiries we see most involve seals that don’t match their tested detail and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bashley tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a smaller site near Bashley, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What happens if it’s left?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Older rural buildings around Bashley move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Bashley need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Bashley: questions and answers
Do you work in occupied care homes around Bashley?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Lymington New Forest Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you work in Bashley?
Yes. We cover Bashley. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
Other services in Bashley
Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range, and any outside it are raised with you.
Where services cross fire walls in Bashley
Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Bashley. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. A 2-mile radius around Bashley takes in a number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
For a school such as Ballard School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. Halls and meeting rooms at places like St John sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. On estates like Gore Road Industrial Estate, 1.6 miles to the south of Bashley, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
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.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
