About our fire stopping in Easington
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. The enquiries we see most involve unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, across service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations. For commercial sealant work in Easington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Smaller places such as Easington still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What affects the price in Easington
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Different surfaces, different methods
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range, and the detail may call for board patching or another product.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
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, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Easington are normally planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

What else we do in Easington
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions about Easington
Is Crendon Industrial Estate, near Easington, within your area?
Yes. We cover Easington and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Crendon Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Easington too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Easington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it and point out anything needing another product.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable and avoids a much larger catch-up later. Converted and older buildings near places like Easington tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Do you need fire stopping in Easington?
Linear gaps fail where a fire-resisting wall meets a slab, soffit or another wall. Deflection and building movement can open these gaps, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Penetration schedules that need working through
In a school such as Long Crendon School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
What to look for in a quote

Fire-rated sealing for Easington buildings
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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. Easington lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls.
On a hospital site such as Thame Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Easington, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Older community buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
Easington is about 3 miles north-west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Easington and the rest of Buckinghamshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.
