Fire stopping in Denvilles
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance. If you have old intumescent sealant that has split away and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can help, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and linear gaps at wall heads alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Denvilles from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Denvilles, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. Send the specification, drawings or photos of the openings and we will quote to suit.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Several jobs near Denvilles can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Why deal with it now?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Common problems we fix in Denvilles
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
Refits at places like Central Retail Park (0.9 miles west of Denvilles) often reroute services through walls between units.

For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B.

A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
