Fire stopping in Breamore, done properly
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you are dealing with damaged fire seals in risers and voids and hidden openings found during inspections, we can put it right, on linear gaps at wall heads, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Breamore tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A job near Breamore is usually planned around one visit, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. 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.

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. 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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

What else we do in Breamore
What the job involves on each surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Breamore may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

FAQs: Breamore
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Fordingbridge Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Breamore off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as 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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the product and detail installed and agree any further records when we quote.
Can you fire stop behind the services contractors?
Yes. Share the penetration schedule and product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades so areas aren’t left open.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What happens if it’s left?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Breamore, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Fire-rated sealing for Breamore buildings
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate (to the south-west of Breamore) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Older community buildings such as St Boniface that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. On a hospital site such as Fordingbridge Hospital, 2.2 miles south of Breamore, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
