About our fire stopping in Bogle
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. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on buildings around Bogle. If you have openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and service penetrations left open after M&E works, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bogle first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A job near Bogle is normally planned around one visit, so send the specification and photos first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, and the data sheet says which.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
Compartment walls and floors in Bogle
At about 40 miles from central London, Bogle is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
For a hotel such as Hempstead House Hotel (1.2 miles north-west of Bogle), penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Large healthcare estates like Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital, 2.7 miles west of Bogle, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like KITE College (to the north-west of Bogle) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.

Your questions answered
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Bogle?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Bogle, such as Kent Science Park?
Yes, sites like Kent Science Park are within our area, along with the rest of Bogle. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Bogle, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Cost factors for service penetrations
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
What happens if it’s left?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. Halls, stores and units around places like Bogle may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
