Questions we’re asked in Drayton Parslow
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Bletchley Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Drayton Parslow off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. We don’t certify or sign off fire stopping, and we hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. Our part is fitting the specified product to its tested detail.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we are not the right fit for that package.
Do you seal openings left by new services?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see and we close them with the specified product.
Fire stopping in Drayton Parslow, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve snag lists that include open service penetrations and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers. For commercial sealant work in Drayton Parslow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Drayton Parslow, 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. That covers our preparation and application.

When to call us in Drayton Parslow
A common fault is a product that was never fire-rated in the first place: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of Holy Trinity sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
Comparing quotes
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Drayton Parslow need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
