When to call us in Bossingham
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access normally bring them to light.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
For a school such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Fire stopping in Bossingham, done properly
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve fire stopping installed outside its tested range and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers. Whoever orders the work in Bossingham, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions around Bossingham can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Bossingham?
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.
Is Bossingham off your patch?
No. Places such as Bossingham are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Bossingham can be grouped with others nearby. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any specification or named product
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers before sealing.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
