About our fire stopping in Beare Green
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover. For commercial sealant work in Beare Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller places such as Beare Green 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Beare Green
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Beare Green?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is Beare Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off

Related advice
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
When to call us in Beare Green
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
Older community buildings such as Church of St Mary Magdalene that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
