Fire stopping in Curdridge
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve improvised or mixed-product fire seals and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Curdridge from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions around Curdridge can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Fire stopping in Curdridge: the local picture
Curdridge lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Older community buildings such as Church of St Peter that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Hotels such as Meon Valley Hotel, 1.3 miles east of Curdridge, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. Industrial units on estates such as Bottings Industrial Estate, 1 mile to the south-west of Curdridge, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.

Leave it or put it right?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Curdridge, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do.
Questions we’re asked in Curdridge
Will you take on work at estates like Bottings Industrial Estate, close to Curdridge?
Yes, sites like Bottings Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Curdridge. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Curdridge too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Commercial clients in Curdridge
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

Advice
Quoting for work in Curdridge
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
