About our fire stopping in Berghers Hill
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you have non-fire-rated filler around services and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Berghers Hill, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller places such as Berghers Hill still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we’re called out for in Berghers Hill
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are the usual culprits.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
For a building such as Church of St Paul, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Questions we are asked in Berghers Hill
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Berghers Hill?
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. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Marlow Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Cost factors for service penetrations
What shapes the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Why deal with it now?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. For buildings around smaller places like Berghers Hill, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
