Fire stopping in Curbridge
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. Site teams most often ask us about fire sealant pulled out of the opening and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. Searching for sealant specialists in Curbridge? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a smaller site near Curbridge, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Compartment walls and floors in Curbridge
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Curbridge. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. At about 64 miles from central London, Curbridge is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
On estates like Windrush Industrial Park, 1 mile north of Curbridge, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Hotels like Four Pillars Hotel (1.3 miles east of Curbridge) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

Curbridge: questions and answers
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Curbridge?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can work at a site such as Abingdon & Witney College: Witney Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is Curbridge in your area?
Yes. Sites across Curbridge are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial clients in Curbridge
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Quoting for work in Curbridge
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown and get them dealt with.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.

When to call us in Curbridge
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Penetration schedules that need working through
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St John the Baptist sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
