What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
How we handle fire stopping in Binscombe
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with non-fire-rated filler around services and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can put it right, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads alike. For commercial sealant work in Binscombe, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions around Binscombe can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Service penetrations in Binscombe buildings
Binscombe has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. At about 30 miles from central London, Binscombe is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Farnham Road Hospital (to the north-east of Binscombe) all have compartment walls crossed by services. Residences at universities like University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus, 2.1 miles north of Binscombe, have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Godalming College, 2 miles south of Binscombe, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
Binscombe is about 3 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. If you’re looking for fire stopping in Binscombe, we can help. Across Surrey, 379 places are covered, Binscombe among them. Reading is covered too, some 23 miles away.
Work on service penetrations is covered throughout GU7, whatever the building. Buildings on Squirrels Close, Redwing Avenue and Copse Side are within our area. If your building is just outside Binscombe, we cover Compton (1 mile north-west), Hurtmore (1 mile west), Littleton (1 mile north-east), Onslow Village (2 miles north) and Shackleford (2 miles west). Further afield, our area takes in Guildford (3 miles north-east), Woking (8 miles north), Camberley (10 miles north-west), Farnham (8 miles west), Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east) and Dorking (12 miles east).
Near you in Binscombe
Around Binscombe, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Withies Inn, Farncombe Wood and Broadwater School, among other places. The nearest railway station is Farncombe station, roughly 0.7 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Guildford Castle (2.6 miles north-east) and Charterhouse School Museum (0.7 miles south-west). Open spaces near Binscombe include Frith Hill and Lower Lake.
General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Common questions from Binscombe clients
Is Binscombe off your patch?
No. Places such as Binscombe are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Binscombe?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally 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’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail, and we tell you if the bundle exceeds what sealant covers.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail and we confirm each before sealing.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Rural sites near Binscombe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Binscombe
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Binscombe, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
