How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area, and note anything we find that isn’t on it.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range, and any that don’t are flagged.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Fir Toll
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings. For commercial sealant work in Fir Toll, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Smaller places such as Fir Toll still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why act early in Fir Toll
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first. For buildings around smaller places like Fir Toll, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Questions we are asked in Fir Toll
Is Fir Toll too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Fir Toll?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Fire stopping in Fir Toll: the local picture
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Fir Toll is about 43 miles from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Older community buildings such as Church of St Nicholas that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Schools such as Pluckley Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
Fir Toll is about 5 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Anywhere in TN27, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Fir Toll is one of 931 places in Kent on our list. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 43 miles from Fir Toll.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
