About our fire stopping in Forty Hill
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. Site teams most often ask us about fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Forty Hill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Forty Hill can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Surface by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Forty Hill: questions and answers
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Can work at a site such as Capel Manor College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we are not the right fit for that package.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
Penetration seals near Forty Hill
Forty Hill has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, we install it to the tested detail under the building’s permit-to-work arrangements.
In a building such as Jesus Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Refits at places like Enfield Retail Park, 1 mile south-east of Forty Hill, often reroute services through walls between units. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Capel Manor College (to the north-east of Forty Hill) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
