When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Fire stopping in East Boldre
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. 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. If you have old intumescent sealant that has split away and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can help, on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors alike. Most enquiries from East Boldre start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like East Boldre often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in East Boldre as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Lymington New Forest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is East Boldre too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you have third-party installer accreditation for fire stopping?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, with no gaps along the run.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like East Boldre are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- 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.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Halls, stores and units around places like East Boldre may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
In a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. Hospital estates such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (to the south-west of East Boldre) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St Paul sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
