Fire stopping in Harold Park, done properly
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. The enquiries we see most involve hidden openings found during inspections and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Harold Park is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Fire stopping around Harold Park: how the place shapes the job
Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits. A 2-mile radius around Harold Park takes in a number of hotels. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Hartswood Hospital, 2.1 miles to the east of Harold Park, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. For a unit at a centre such as The Mercury Mall (2.8 miles south-west of Harold Park), penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit. On a site such as Warley Hill Business Park (2.3 miles east of Harold Park), every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.

Questions about Harold Park
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Harold Park?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Is a hospital such as Hartswood Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach and each detail can be checked as we go. In Harold Park, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Harold Park can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
