On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Christmas Pie, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Common problems we fix in Christmas Pie
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are the usual culprits.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
Older community buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
When to bring in 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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Why deal with it now?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small, rather than turning into a full building survey and reseal. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Christmas Pie. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
What you get with us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Public liability insurance in place
- CSCS-carded applicators
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open instead of being left for someone else.
Christmas Pie: questions and answers
Is Christmas Pie too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Christmas Pie?
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 soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Penetration seals near Christmas Pie
Christmas Pie lies roughly 31 miles out from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Hospital estates such as Royal Surrey County Hospital, 2.7 miles east of Christmas Pie, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. Colleges such as Aldershot College (to the west of Christmas Pie) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
