How we handle fire stopping in Burgess Hill
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, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and openings left by services added after handover, on service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Burgess Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In a town like Burgess Hill, penetration seals normally need attention after other trades have been through. Checking after M&E works is good practice, and we’ll seal what’s found where fire-rated sealant is the specified product.

Burgess Hill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Ashwyn Business Centre, close to Burgess Hill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Burgess Hill, Ashwyn Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like The Dene Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades so areas aren’t left open.

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Burgess Hill are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s normally simpler.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any outside it are raised with you.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail and we confirm each before sealing.
Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. You can also send details through our quote form.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Fire stopping around Burgess Hill: what changes locally
Burgess Hill is about 37 miles from central London. 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. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Burgess Hill. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product.
For an estates team at a campus like University of Sussex, 4 miles to the east of Burgess Hill, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing. Older community buildings such as St John the Evangelist's Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. On a site such as Ashwyn Business Centre, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Burgess Hill, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
Burgess Hill is about 9 miles north of Brighton, in West Sussex. If you’re looking for fire stopping in Burgess Hill, we can help. Burgess Hill is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. Brighton is covered too, around 9 miles from Burgess Hill.

Why act early in Burgess Hill
