Fire stopping for Easebourne sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
About our fire stopping in Easebourne
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Easebourne and nearby. If you’re dealing with service penetrations left open after M&E works and expanding foam used as fire stopping, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Easebourne, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A job near Easebourne is typically planned around one visit, so send the specification and photos first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Compartment walls and floors in Easebourne
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Easebourne. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. At about 44 miles from central London, Easebourne is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
For a building at a site such as Midhurst Business Centre, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Easebourne, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. For a hospital such as Midhurst Community Hospital (under half a mile south-west of Easebourne), penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. For a hotel such as The Angel Hotel, which lies south-west of Easebourne, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.

What else we do in Easebourne
From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Easebourne are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Your questions answered
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Easebourne?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Midhurst Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range, and any outside it are raised with you.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter and we work within those limits.
Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
