Fire stopping in Brunswick, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with hidden openings found during inspections and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Brunswick start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Brunswick can mix old and new construction, so the wall or floor a service passes through isn’t always what the drawings assume. We match the product to the substrate and service, and say so if a collar, wrap or batt is the specified item.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What affects the price in Brunswick
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Access details, including height
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Brunswick

Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
Fire stopping in Brunswick: the local picture
A 2-mile radius around Brunswick takes in a good number of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Brunswick. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
For a hospital such as The Montefiore Hospital, 0.5 miles to the north of Brunswick, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. At a college such as Waterbear College Brighton, 0.5 miles east of Brunswick, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice. In a retail centre such as Churchill Square, which lies east of Brunswick, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Our applicators travel to Brunswick for work on service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 29 places across Brighton and Hove fall within our area, including Brunswick.

Bigger towns within reach include Portslade (3 miles north-west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Hollingbury (3 miles north), Bevendean (3 miles north-east) and Saltdean (5 miles east).

Brunswick: questions and answers
Is Brunswick too far out for you?
No. Places such as Brunswick are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like The Montefiore Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
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. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested and the installation has to match the test.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Several jobs near Brunswick can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need
