How we handle fire stopping in Egham Wick
No fire sealant works on its own: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Site teams most often ask us about seals that don’t match their tested detail and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Egham Wick tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Smaller places such as Egham Wick 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.
Work we carry out in Surrey comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Record which product was used where
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area, and note anything we find that isn’t on it.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
When to call us in Egham Wick
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and the wrong product can split as a result. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
Tenant changes at parks like Egham Business Park, 2.4 miles east of Egham Wick, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal.

Questions about Egham Wick
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Egham Wick after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Can you work on a hospital site such as King Edward VII Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Egham Wick, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed 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 the details over.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
