How we handle fire stopping in Enham Alamein
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and seals that don’t match their tested detail, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Enham Alamein from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
A job near Enham Alamein is normally planned around one visit, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Enham Alamein, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals 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.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Enham Alamein
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Enham Alamein. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Enham Alamein. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

- Public liability insurance in place
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit

What we’re called out for in Enham Alamein
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
Where a unit on an estate such as Glenmore Trade Park (1.6 miles south of Enham Alamein), has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail.
Comparing quotes

- The named product and why it was chosen
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
