Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
About our fire stopping in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. We work on pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Towns the size of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford have plenty of buildings with compartment walls: schools, care homes, surgeries, offices and blocks of flats. New cabling or pipework through a fire-resisting wall leaves a gap that has to be made good with the specified product.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Commercial clients in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Penetration seals near Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
A 2-mile radius around Bletchley and Fenny Stratford takes in a number of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. 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.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job.

What else we do in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: questions and answers
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
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 work at a site such as The Open University fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
