Fire stopping in Fareham Common, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve snag lists that include open service penetrations and service penetrations left open after M&E works, across service gaps in risers, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fareham Common from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Fareham Common that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Specified fire-rated sealant goes around new services there, built to match the manufacturer’s detail.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows

Signs you need fire stopping in Fareham Common
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped, and the repair is often skipped.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
For a unit at a site such as Broadcut Retail Park, less than half a mile to the north of Fareham Common, any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail.

Questions about Fareham Common
Can work at a site such as Fareham College fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Fareham Common?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For a site in Fareham Common, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows

What affects the price in Fareham Common
These are the things that shape the price:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Leave it or put it right?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Compartment walls and floors in Fareham Common
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. Fareham Common has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
On a hospital site such as Knowle Hospital, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Fareham Common, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. For a hotel such as The Red Lion Hotel, under half a mile south of Fareham Common, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
