About our fire stopping in Frogham
It helps to set out our role at the start. 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 on buildings around Frogham. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old intumescent sealant that has split away and fire stopping installed outside its tested range. Most enquiries from Frogham 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.
Around smaller places like Frogham, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
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.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building around Frogham, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Advice
Frogham: questions and answers
Is Arch Farm Industrial Estate, near Frogham, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Frogham, Arch Farm Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Frogham too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Building standards in Scotland are separate from England’s, while England relies on Approved Document B. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
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.
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.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Fire stopping in Frogham: the local picture
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Where a unit on an estate such as Arch Farm Industrial Estate, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Frogham, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. Schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. At a healthcare site like Fordingbridge Hospital (1.8 miles north-west of Frogham), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

What’s near Frogham
In Frogham, that means premises near The Burgate School and Sixth Form. Well-known places in the area include Fordingbridge Doll Museum (1.6 miles north-west) and Godshill Castle Hill (2 miles north). The countryside around Frogham includes Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
What happens if it’s left?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. Halls, stores and units around places like Frogham may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we will tell you what the detail says instead.
