Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail using the same product.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
How we handle fire stopping in Bevendean
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bevendean tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Bevendean is usually a single building at a time. With the specification and photographs of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Bevendean, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- 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.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out 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.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Nearby places to Bevendean
Also in Bevendean
Surface by surface
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
Bevendean: questions and answers
Is a hospital such as Brighton General Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Does your area include sites such as The Hyde Business Park, near Bevendean?
Yes. We cover Bevendean and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as The Hyde Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work in Bevendean?
Yes. We cover Bevendean, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What changes on 2 September 2029?
In England, references to the older BS 476 national classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, with transitional arrangements set by the Government. The European route, BS EN 13501-2, then applies. Product selection stays with your designer.
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.
Is sealant suitable for all service openings?
No. A sealant’s evidence covers set services, gaps and wall or floor types. Outside that, a different product is needed, as set out by the designer.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Some clients require third-party installer schemes even though the law doesn’t, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
Where services cross fire walls in Bevendean
Eight care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Bevendean. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a site team at a college like Downs View Link College, which lies west of Bevendean, fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. On a site such as The Hyde Business Park, less than half a mile south of Bevendean, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product. Large healthcare estates like Brighton General Hospital (to the south-west of Bevendean) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
