Fire stopping in Bowlhead Green, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and seals that don’t match their tested detail. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bowlhead Green 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.
Around smaller places like Bowlhead Green, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail using the same product.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Bowlhead Green: questions and answers
Is Bowlhead Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Haslemere and District Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can you fire stop behind the services contractors?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see, and we reseal them to the specified detail.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach, and the right detail can be checked at the time. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Bowlhead Green, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
