Fire stopping in Hale, done properly
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. We work on cable penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and pipe penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and seals that don’t match their tested detail. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hale it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a smaller site near Hale, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Quoting for work in Hale
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The site’s rules and procedures
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Questions about Hale
Would you work within a site like Farnham Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Hale?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Hale need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness before sealing.

What happens if it’s left?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. For buildings around smaller places like Hale, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet

Compartments and services around Hale
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Hale. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Hale has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Aldershot College, 2.3 miles north-east of Hale, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. At a healthcare site like Farnham Community Hospital (0.7 miles south of Hale), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Industrial units on estates such as Farnham Trading Estate (to the south-east of Hale) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
