What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
About our fire stopping in Bishopstoke
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are penetration schedules that need working through and service penetrations left open after M&E works. Whoever orders the work in Bishopstoke, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around Bishopstoke, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. With the specification and photographs of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Bishopstoke, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Fire-rated sealing for Bishopstoke buildings
Bishopstoke is about 65 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Bishopstoke. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
For a unit at a centre such as Cannons Retail Park, 1.8 miles west of Bishopstoke, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit. For a site team at a college like Eastleigh College - Desborough Campus (1.3 miles west of Bishopstoke), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. Campus buildings at universities such as University of Southampton (4.2 miles south-west of Bishopstoke) see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.
