Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How we handle fire stopping in Beckley
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. 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 linear gaps at wall heads, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are snag lists that include open service penetrations and hidden openings found during inspections. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Beckley from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller places such as Beckley 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.
Work we carry out in East Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Beckley, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- 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 so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
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.
Commercial clients in Beckley
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Beckley outside your area?
Not at all. Beckley is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Beckley?
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. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.

Central London is about 48 miles from Beckley. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under 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.

Older community buildings such as The Parish Church of All Saints that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Schools such as Beckley Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
