Fire stopping in Collier Row
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you have hidden openings found during inspections and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Collier Row, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
London has many occupied offices, blocks and mixed-use buildings where services are added and rerouted all the time. Each service penetration gets fire-rated or intumescent sealant if that’s what is specified, laid to the product’s tested arrangement.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fire-rated sealing for Collier Row buildings
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Collier Row. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Hospital estates such as Victoria Hospital (to the south-east of Collier Row) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. At a retail site such as Rom Valley Retail Park, 1.7 miles to the south of Collier Row, walls between units may be fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need the specified seal.

Do you need fire stopping in Collier Row?
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls and later need putting right.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
In a hotel such as Mawney Hotel, which lies south of Collier Row, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Common questions from Collier Row clients
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Collier Row?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
