About our fire stopping in Great Burgh
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail rather than guesswork. If you are dealing with head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Great Burgh is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Great Burgh is typically a single building at a time. With the specification and photos of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Fire-rated sealing for Great Burgh buildings
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Great Burgh. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
At a healthcare site like Epsom General Hospital (2 miles north-west of Great Burgh), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. In a retail centre such as The Ashley Centre, which lies north-west of Great Burgh, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail. At a university such as University for the Creative Arts - Epsom, which lies north-west of Great Burgh, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.
Great Burgh is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. Across the KT18 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Great Burgh, such as Eclipse Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Great Burgh, Eclipse Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Great Burgh outside your area?
No. Places such as Great Burgh are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Openings through concrete vary from tidy cores to rough break-outs. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range, and any that don’t are flagged.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
