Fire stopping for businesses in Haslingbourne
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Haslingbourne, 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 raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Fire stopping in Haslingbourne, done properly
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Most enquiries involve old intumescent sealant that has split away and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Haslingbourne tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a smaller site near Haslingbourne, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Haslingbourne as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need fire stopping in Haslingbourne
Openings in fire-resisting walls normally appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
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 against the detail’s limits.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. Their tested detail, under BS EN 1366-4, sets the width, depth, backing and movement allowed.
Where services cross fire walls in Haslingbourne
At about 42 miles from central London, Haslingbourne is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Haslingbourne. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal.
In a building such as Church of St Bartholomew, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Hotels such as The Angel Hotel, 0.9 miles north of Haslingbourne, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
