FAQs: Dormans Park
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dormans Park, such as Scanda-Hus Business Park?
Yes, sites like Scanda-Hus Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Dormans Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Dormans Park?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
About our fire stopping in Dormans Park
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. Most enquiries involve service penetrations left open after M&E works and old intumescent sealant that has split away, across pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers.

Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Dormans Park often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What else we do in Dormans Park
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What the job involves on each surface
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness first.
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Penetration seals near Dormans Park
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Dormans Park. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Queen Victoria Hospital (to the south of Dormans Park) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. Offices at parks like Scanda-Hus Business Park, 1.1 miles north-west of Dormans Park, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
When to call us in Dormans Park
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Hidden openings found during inspections
In a school such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
