About our fire stopping in Broomhall
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Broomhall. If you have service penetrations left open after M&E works and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Broomhall, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Broomhall, many commercial buildings are conversions or extensions of older ones, so the wall or floor a service passes through isn’t always what the drawings assume. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Site staff or a sealant 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, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Your questions answered
Can work in a care setting near Broomhall go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Does your area include sites such as Ascot Business Park, near Broomhall?
Yes. Our area takes in Broomhall and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ascot Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No, that isn’t our role. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it and point out anything needing another product.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Broomhall
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. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Hidden openings found during inspections
Residences at universities like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus, 1.5 miles north-west of Broomhall, have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.

Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Several jobs near Broomhall can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Fire-rated sealing for Broomhall buildings
At about 24 miles from central London, Broomhall is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
In a building such as Holy Trinity Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. In a hotel such as Royal Berkshire Hotel, which lies north of Broomhall, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.

Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
