How we handle fire stopping in Eastling
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Site teams most often ask us about unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and non-fire-rated filler around services, across cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Searching for sealant specialists in Eastling? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Eastling still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Your questions answered
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Eastling?
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. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Eastling?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Eastling are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- 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 will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
What we are called out for in Eastling
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
In a building such as Church of St Mary, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
What your quote should include
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
