Do you need fire stopping in Eel Pie Island?
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
In a retail centre such as Ivybridge Retail Park (1 mile north of Eel Pie Island), any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
Questions to ask before you book

- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Fire stopping in Eel Pie Island
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is penetration schedules that need working through and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open. Most enquiries from Eel Pie Island start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a London area such as Eel Pie Island, buildings are refitted often, and every new cable, pipe or duct through a fire-resisting wall or floor leaves a gap. Where the specification names fire-rated sealant, it goes in exactly as the manufacturer’s test evidence shows for that wall or floor.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Eel Pie Island clients
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Eel Pie Island?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you work in Eel Pie Island?
Yes. Eel Pie Island falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way, or a new specification from the designer.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. In Eel Pie Island, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Fire-rated sealing for Eel Pie Island buildings
There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Eel Pie Island. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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.
At a university such as St Mary's University (0.8 miles south-west of Eel Pie Island), labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. Office fit-outs on sites such as Newmans Shipyard & Business Park, 0.5 miles south-west of Eel Pie Island, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.
