Around smaller places like Bepton Common, 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Owners, agents and contractors
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Signs you need fire stopping in Bepton Common
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Openings left by services added after handover
In a school such as Midhurst CofE Primary School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Common questions from Bepton Common clients
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Bepton Common?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Is Bepton Common too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them 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, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
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, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Around Bepton Common, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

What else we do in Bepton Common
Fire-rated sealing for Bepton Common buildings
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Bepton Common has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Hotels such as The Spread Eagle Hotel, 1 mile to the north-east of Bepton Common, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. For a building at a site such as Midhurst Business Centre (less than half a mile north-east of Bepton Common), a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building around Bepton Common, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
