How we handle fire stopping in Burridge
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and openings left by services added after handover. Most enquiries from Burridge start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a smaller site near Burridge, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown, and report them promptly.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
Burridge: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Park Gate Business Centre, by Burridge?
Yes. We cover Burridge and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Park Gate Business Centre. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Burridge?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
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.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Rural sites near Burridge may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Fire-rated sealing for Burridge buildings
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Burridge. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Tenant changes at parks like Park Gate Business Centre (0.9 miles south of Burridge) bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. Hotels like Solent Hotel and Spa (0.9 miles south-east of Burridge) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. Tenant changes at centres like Hedge End Retail Park (to the north-west of Burridge) often mean new services through walls between units.
Burridge is about 3 miles south-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO15, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. Southampton is covered too, some 6 miles away.
If you need fire stopping in PO15 and SO31, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are Dumas Drive, Jerome Street and Coleridge Drive, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. You’ll find Burridge on or near the A3051, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. If your building is just outside Burridge, we cover Whiteley (1 mile south-east), Park Gate (1 mile south), Swanwick (1 mile south-west), Sarisbury (1 mile south-west) and Segensworth (2 miles south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Winchester (12 miles north), Gosport (8 miles south-east), Havant (12 miles east), Eastleigh (7 miles north-west), Fareham (4 miles south-east) and Horndean (11 miles east).
