How we handle fire stopping in Battramsley
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to 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. The enquiries we see most involve openings left by services added after handover and old intumescent sealant that has split away, on cable penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Battramsley, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Battramsley, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why act early in Battramsley
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. Converted and older buildings near places like Battramsley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Service penetrations in Battramsley buildings
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Battramsley. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Hotels such as Passford House Hotel (to the south-west of Battramsley) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. At a college such as Brockenhurst College (2.3 miles north of Battramsley), checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice.

- Distance, for remote addresses

- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

When to call us in Battramsley
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access usually bring them to light.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
At a healthcare site like Lymington New Forest Hospital, which lies south-east of Battramsley, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
