Fire stopping in Chapel Row
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you’re dealing with openings left by services added after handover and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Chapel Row, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A job near Chapel Row is normally planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Chapel Row are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Why act early in Chapel Row
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed. Converted and older buildings near places like Chapel Row tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, though larger ones usually call for a collar or wrap. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
Owners, agents and contractors
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Fire-rated sealing for Chapel Row buildings
The area within 2 miles of Chapel Row holds several 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. Chapel Row is about 46 miles from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
For a school such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. Large healthcare estates like Amberstone Hospital, 2.2 miles to the west of Chapel Row, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

Near you in Chapel Row
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Brewers' Arms Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Pevensey Bay station, roughly 4.8 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Amberstone Hospital (2.2 miles west) and Herstmonceux Castle (1.2 miles south-east).
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Record which product was used where
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open instead of being left for someone else.
Your questions answered
Is Chapel Row too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Chapel Row are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Chapel Row?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically 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 will give you a timescale with the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
