Fire stopping for businesses in Broad Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Broad Green
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Broad Green. The enquiries we see most involve unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Broad Green first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Fit-outs and M&E works in London buildings often leave service penetrations open behind ceilings and in risers. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Surface by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products.
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, so we check before sealing.
When to bring in a specialist
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. 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. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Where services cross fire walls in Broad Green
Five care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Broad Green. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Broad Green. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
In a hotel such as Mayday Hotel, which lies west of Broad Green, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a hospital such as Croydon University Hospital, less than half a mile to the north-west of Broad Green, penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

Other services in Broad Green
What we are called out for in Broad Green
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
For a unit at a centre such as Whitgift Centre, 0.8 miles south of Broad Green, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows

Advice
FAQs: Broad Green
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Broad Green?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Do you work in occupied care homes around Broad Green?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
