Fire stopping in Coldmoorholme, done properly
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. Most enquiries involve head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, across pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. Whoever orders the work in Coldmoorholme, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a smaller site near Coldmoorholme, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photos first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Coldmoorholme can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Surface by surface
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Where services cross fire walls in Coldmoorholme
The area within 2 miles of Coldmoorholme 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. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Residences at universities like Buckinghamshire New University (3.4 miles north of Coldmoorholme) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. For a building such as St Mark, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. For a hospital such as Marlow Community Hospital, 2.1 miles west of Coldmoorholme, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
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.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions answered
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Coldmoorholme?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Is Coldmoorholme off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
