Your questions answered
Would you work within a site like Milford 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.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Brook?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Brook
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail rather than guesswork. We work on cable penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we’re called in for most is fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Brook from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Brook, 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Fire-rated sealing for Brook buildings
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Central London is about 35 miles from Brook. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
In a school such as King Edward's School Witley, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. In a hotel such as The White Hart Hotel, 1.5 miles to the north-east of Brook, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Milford Hospital (to the north-east of Brook) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For work around Brook, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
