How we handle fire stopping in Godstone
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is seals that don’t match their tested detail and non-fire-rated filler around services. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Godstone tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
A job near Godstone is typically planned around one visit, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Commercial clients in Godstone
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions answered
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Godstone?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Will you work in a care home in Godstone without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Leave it or put it right?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Around Godstone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For work around Godstone, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Penetration seals near Godstone
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Godstone. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Godstone has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
For a hospital such as North Downs Hospital, 1.8 miles to the north of Godstone, penetration sealing is usually phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. In a hotel such as Antique Shop The Godstone Hotel, under half a mile south of Godstone, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Schools such as Godstone Village School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
Godstone is about 3 miles south of Caterham, in Surrey. Godstone sits inside our coverage, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Godstone is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 17 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork typically needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
