When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
About our fire stopping in Cockpole Green
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. The enquiries we see most involve penetration schedules that need working through and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Cockpole Green, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Cockpole Green often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
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, not months later.
Questions we are asked in Cockpole Green
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Townlands Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you take on work at estates like Castle End Business Park, close to Cockpole Green?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cockpole Green, Castle End Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it and point out anything needing another product.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.

Penetration seals near Cockpole Green
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Cockpole Green has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Berkshire College of Agriculture, 2.2 miles east of Cockpole Green, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. For an estates team at a campus like University of Reading, which lies south-west of Cockpole Green, summer M&E works are normally followed by a round of penetration sealing. In a building such as St Paul's Mission Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Why act early in Cockpole Green
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product. Converted and older buildings near places like Cockpole Green tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.

What else we do in Cockpole Green
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Cockpole Green are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- 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.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
