Fire stopping near Crockerhill
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Fire stopping in Crockerhill
Facilities managers in Crockerhill often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have hidden openings found during inspections and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can help, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Crockerhill from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Crockerhill 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, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Crockerhill
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first. Converted and older buildings near places like Crockerhill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- One number for every site we cover
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Record which product was used where
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.

Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

Crockerhill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Chichester Business Park., close to Crockerhill?
Yes. We cover Crockerhill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chichester Business Park.. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Crockerhill off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No. The specification comes from your designer, fire engineer or building control. Our role is fitting the specified fire-rated sealant, following the maker’s tested details.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. The rating applies to the product as tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you need fire stopping in Crockerhill?
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is when untested combinations creep in and later need putting right.
Look out for the following:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
Offices at parks like Chichester Business Park. (to the west of Crockerhill) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
