Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter and we work within those limits.

Common problems we fix in Brasted Chart
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
Hotels such as The King's Arms Hotel (1.4 miles west of Brasted Chart) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Why act early in Brasted Chart
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. For buildings around smaller places like Brasted Chart, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
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.
