Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
Fire stopping in Funtley, done properly
Facilities managers in Funtley 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 using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Funtley, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A job near Funtley is normally planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in Funtley
Leave it or put it right?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is normally a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Funtley. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Common questions from Funtley clients
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Funtley after a refit?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Funtley?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
Compartments and services around Funtley
The area within 2 miles of Funtley holds a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a building such as Church of St Francis, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Knowle Hospital (to the north of Funtley) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. On a site such as Knowle Village Business Park, 0.8 miles north of Funtley, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.

From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Jobs in and around smaller places like Funtley are normally planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
