About our fire stopping in Beauworth
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Beauworth first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places like Beauworth, 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Beauworth
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Older rural buildings around Beauworth move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Linear joints
Linear joints run along the head of a wall, at a slab edge or between two fire-resisting elements. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers, and we work within it.
Penetration seals near Beauworth
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. At about 57 miles from central London, Beauworth is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St James sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Around Beauworth, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

Beauworth: questions and answers
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Beauworth?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Beauworth?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Beauworth need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
