Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Eversley, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Advice
Fire stopping in Eversley
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about penetration schedules that need working through and service penetrations left open after M&E works, on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. For commercial sealant work in Eversley, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places like Eversley, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
Fire stopping in Eversley: the local picture
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Eversley is about 36 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
In a hotel such as Warbrook House Hotel, 0.6 miles south of Eversley, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Holiday works at schools like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.

Cost factors for service penetrations
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common problems we fix in Eversley
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
For a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital (4.1 miles north-east of Eversley), penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness before sealing.
Questions about Eversley
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Hogwood Lane Industrial Estate, near Eversley, within your area?
Yes, sites like Hogwood Lane Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Eversley. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. We don’t certify or sign off fire stopping, and we hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested; installing to the detail is what carries that across to site.
