Fire stopping in Easton
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The total length or number of joints
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Fire stopping in Easton
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about non-fire-rated filler around services and service penetrations left open after M&E works, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. For commercial sealant work in Easton, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a smaller site near Easton, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Easton as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Converted and older buildings near places like Easton tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

When to call us in Easton
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
For a building such as Church of St Mary, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their public liability cover
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Easton: questions and answers
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Leigh House Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Easton?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Do you work in Easton?
Yes. Easton falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to get started.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, 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.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables and we work within those limits.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Easton can be grouped with others nearby. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
