Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Boorley Green
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are seals that don’t match their tested detail and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Boorley Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Boorley Green that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Specified fire-rated sealant goes around new services there, built to match the manufacturer’s detail.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will come back to it.

Compartments and services around Boorley Green
A 2-mile radius around Boorley Green 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. Boorley Green is about 65 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Industrial units on estates such as Solent Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the west of Boorley Green, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Hotels like Macdonald Botley Park Hotel & Spa, less than half a mile to the west of Boorley Green, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. What matters most for a job in Boorley Green is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Signs you need fire stopping in Boorley Green
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls, which then have to be put right.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
For a unit at a centre such as Bradbeers Retail park, 1.5 miles west of Boorley Green, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
What the job involves on each surface
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork typically needs a different solution set by the designer.
Questions about Boorley Green
Is Boorley Green off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Boorley Green?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Boorley Green can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a smaller place such as Boorley Green, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so it’s worth dealing with every failing joint at once.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Take a look at what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
