When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
Fire stopping in Crookham Village, done properly
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. Site teams most often ask us about head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and seals that don’t match their tested detail, across service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Crookham Village, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places like Crookham Village, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products.
Cost factors for service penetrations
What shapes the price:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crookham Village
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Halls, stores and units around places like Crookham Village may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?

- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- A fixed quote before work starts

Questions about Crookham Village
Can you work at a site such as Hart Shopping Centre, by Crookham Village?
Yes, sites like Hart Shopping Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Crookham Village. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Fleet Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Our area runs from Greater London and the South East to every part of Scotland. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, with proprietary products tested for the end use.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
