Fire stopping in Ewhurst Green
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance. If you have head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ewhurst Green from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions around Ewhurst Green can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Ewhurst Green, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Leave it or put it right?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Halls, stores and units around places like Ewhurst Green may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Fire stopping in Ewhurst Green: the local picture
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Ewhurst Green lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
For a school such as Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. In a building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Questions we are asked in Ewhurst Green
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Ewhurst Green?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Can you produce the fire-stopping design for a job in Ewhurst Green?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Ewhurst Green can form part of a wider programme across Surrey.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
What affects the price in Ewhurst Green
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.
Surface by surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, with no gaps along the run.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
