Fire stopping in Eden Park

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Fire stopping in Eden Park

On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Eden Park first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.

Taller residential buildings in London may fall under the Building Safety Act’s higher-risk regime, where fire-stopping records get close attention. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

When it isn’t the sealant

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
  • Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
  • Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls

If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work in Eden Park

  • Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

Work for main contractors and building owners

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

FAQs: Eden Park

What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Eden Park?

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.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Shaftesbury Nash College?

Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

Is colour matching possible?

In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

What do you charge?

Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

How soon can the area be used again?

We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.

How do I request a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Signs you need fire stopping in Eden Park

Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.

Most enquiries start with something like this:

  • Service penetrations left open after M&E works
  • Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
  • Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
  • Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover

On a hospital site such as Bethlem Royal Hospital, which lies south-west of Eden Park, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

What to look for in a quote

  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • The terms of the workmanship guarantee

Our contractor checklist

Different surfaces, different methods

Masonry and concrete

Openings through concrete vary from tidy cores to rough break-outs. 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

Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter.

Fire-rated sealing for Eden Park buildings

In London buildings, frequent fit-outs and M&E changes are a common reason fire stopping gets breached. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.

Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Shaftesbury Nash College (to the south-east of Eden Park) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. Shop fits in centres such as The Mall, 2 miles north-east of Eden Park, can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, which then need the specified seal.

How the quote is worked out

Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:

  • How much existing material needs removing
  • How accessible the joints are
  • The size and state of each joint
  • Phasing around occupants

Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What to include in your enquiry

A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:

  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • The type of building and who uses it
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • The product your specification calls for

Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

How a job runs

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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Planning a London job such as one in Eden Park starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.

  1. First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
  2. On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
  3. Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
  4. Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
  5. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
  6. If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.

Getting the site ready

  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
