Fire stopping near Enborne Row
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Fire stopping in Enborne Row
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and seals that don’t match their tested detail. Most enquiries from Enborne Row 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.
Smaller places such as Enborne Row 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Enborne Row are normally 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.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Quotes
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Quoting for work in Enborne Row
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why deal with it now?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme, so earlier action pays back. Around Enborne Row, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Public liability insurance in place
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- One number for every site we cover

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.
Do you need fire stopping in Enborne Row?
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is when untested combinations creep in.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
For a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, which lies north-east of Enborne Row, penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

- Their public liability cover
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
