How we handle fire stopping in Burlington Estate
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. We work on cable penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and fire stopping installed outside its tested range. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Burlington Estate first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we will confirm with the quote.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Burlington Estate, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs: Burlington Estate
Is Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., near Burlington Estate, within your area?
Yes. We cover Burlington Estate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre.. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Burlington Estate?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products, and we’ll say if that applies.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail.
What affects the price in Burlington Estate
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.

What we’re called out for in Burlington Estate
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Westminster Kingsway College Soho Centre, under half a mile to the north-east of Burlington Estate, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
