About our fire stopping in Beddington
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Beddington tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. Fire-rated sealant goes in where it’s the specified item; where a collar, wrap or batt is called for instead, we flag it.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Service penetrations in Beddington buildings
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. A 2-mile radius around Beddington takes in plenty of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Croydon University Hospital (1.6 miles north-east of Beddington) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. Tenant changes at parks like Anchor Business Park (to the north-east of Beddington) bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Croydon College (to the east of Beddington) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
Beddington is about 2 miles west of Croydon, in Greater London. We cover Beddington and the rest of Greater London, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, large and small. London is covered too, around 9 miles from Beddington.
We cover the CR0, SM6 and CR9 postcode districts for service penetrations. Buildings on Guy Road, Mill Lane and Church Lane are within our area. Just outside Beddington, we also work in Bandonhill (1 mile south), Wallington (1 mile south-west), Waddon (1 mile south-east), Old Town (1 mile east) and Roundshaw (1 mile south). Bigger towns within reach include London (9 miles north), City of Westminster (10 miles north), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (9 miles north), St Pancras (11 miles north) and Shoreditch (11 miles north).
What’s near Beddington

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Beddington: questions and answers
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Beddington?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Beddington?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Beddington can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.

What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we’ll never swap a specified collar for sealant.
