Fire stopping in Faygate
Facilities managers in Faygate often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fire stopping installed outside its tested range and snag lists that include open service penetrations. Most enquiries from Faygate start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions around Faygate can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

What affects the price in Faygate
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Penetration seals near Faygate
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. At about 29 miles from central London, Faygate is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Crawley Hospital, 3.2 miles to the north-east of Faygate, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. Older community buildings such as St Francis' Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
Faygate is about 3 miles north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cover Faygate and the rest of West Sussex, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Faygate is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex. We also cover Brighton, around 19 miles from Faygate.

Questions about Faygate
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Crawley Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you take on work at estates like Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate, close to Faygate?
Yes. Our area takes in Faygate and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Holmbush Potteries Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No. The specification comes from your designer, fire engineer or building control. Our role is installing what they specify, to the product’s tested detail.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades so areas aren’t left open.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. If others near Faygate need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- 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.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Ask for a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
What else we do in Faygate
Signs you need fire stopping in Faygate
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
Holiday works at schools like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
What happens if it’s left?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Faygate. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
