How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Smaller jobs around Boveney can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.

Fire stopping in Boveney
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow. The enquiries we see most involve seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and non-fire-rated filler around services, across pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Boveney is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A job near Boveney is usually planned around one visit, so send the specification and photographs first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Why it’s worth doing now in Boveney
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Boveney. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Why us?
- Public liability insurance in place
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

Signs you need fire stopping in Boveney
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
In a hotel such as Oakley Court Hotel, 1 mile west of Boveney, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Proof of insurance
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Common questions from Boveney clients
Is Boveney too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Boveney?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

Boveney lies roughly 24 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a site team at a college like Windsor College (1.7 miles south-east of Boveney), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. Hospital estates such as King Edward VII Hospital, 1.9 miles south-east of Boveney, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
