About our fire stopping in Burley
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and what we’re called in for most is service penetrations left open after M&E works and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burley tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller places such as Burley still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Burley, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.

Advice
Fire stopping around Burley: points for this area
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. A 2-mile radius around Burley takes in a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
In a building such as Church of St John the Baptist, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Holiday works at schools like Burley Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Hotels such as Burley Manor Hotel (less than half a mile north of Burley) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

Why deal with it now?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. Converted and older buildings near places like Burley tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Questions we’re asked in Burley
Is Burley too far out for you?
No. Places such as Burley are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Burley?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
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 before you book.
