Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Hangersley
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about fire sealant pulled out of the opening and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Hangersley it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a smaller site near Hangersley, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Any access equipment needed
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 fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Common problems we fix in Hangersley
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
For a building at a site such as Headlands Business Park, 1.4 miles to the west of Hangersley, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Who will actually carry out the work
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For a building around Hangersley, 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.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged and get them dealt with.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.
Fire stopping around Hangersley: how the place shapes the job
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Hangersley. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Holiday works at schools like Poulner Infant School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. On a hospital site such as St Leonard's Hospital, 5.4 miles south-west of Hangersley, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

What we can’t put right

What else we do in Hangersley
Questions we are asked in Hangersley
Is Hangersley too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Leonard's Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the product and detail installed, and you can tell us what other records you need at quote stage.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What do you charge?
