Fire stopping in Friday Street
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Friday Street, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Friday Street
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on buildings around Friday Street. Most enquiries involve penetration schedules that need working through and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers. Most enquiries from Friday Street start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Smaller places such as Friday Street still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Chapel Lane Industrial Estate, near Friday Street?
Yes. Our area takes in Friday Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Chapel Lane Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is Friday Street too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We’ll confirm the product and detail installed and agree any further records when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we’ll tell you what the detail says instead.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Service penetrations in Friday Street buildings
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in 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. Friday Street is about 24 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.
For a building such as Church of St James, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Schools such as Belmont Prep School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. On estates like Chapel Lane Industrial Estate, 2.2 miles north-east of Friday Street, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.
Friday Street is about 3 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Anywhere in RH5, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Friday Street is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. Sites around London have their own page, about 24 miles away.

A short drive away, we cover Guildford (9 miles north-west), Woking (12 miles north-west), Epsom (11 miles north-east), Horley (9 miles east), Redhill (10 miles east) and Ewell (12 miles north-east).

Not far away are Vann Lake and Combe Bottom.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record which product was used where
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
Why it’s worth doing now in Friday Street
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 Friday Street, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
