Different surfaces, different methods
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness.
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
Fire stopping in Broomer's Corner
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, and they are easy to forget. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers, and what we are called in for most is fire sealant pulled out of the opening and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Broomer's Corner from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
A job near Broomer's Corner is usually planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Service penetrations in Broomer's Corner buildings
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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 38 miles from Broomer's Corner. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Holiday works at schools like William Penn School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Tenant changes at parks like Crays Court (business park), 2 miles to the south of Broomer's Corner, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. In a building such as St Mary's Mission Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
Why act early in Broomer's Corner
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Halls, stores and units around places like Broomer's Corner may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Broomer's Corner: questions and answers
Is Broomer's Corner too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Broomer's Corner is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is Crays Court (business park), near Broomer's Corner, within your area?
Yes, sites like Crays Court (business park) are within our area, along with the rest of Broomer's Corner. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is the BS 476 change in 2029 relevant to fire stopping?
For buildings in England, Approved Document B removes BS 476 references from 2 September 2029. Classification to BS EN 13501-2 becomes the expected evidence. In Scotland, the Technical Handbook sets its own guidance, including clause 2.1.14 on service penetrations.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement.
Will fire-rated sealant work on every penetration?
No. Each fire-rated sealant is tested for particular services, gap sizes and substrates. If an opening falls outside, it needs another solution, specified by your designer.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
