Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Hatchet Green
No fire sealant works on its own: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. We work on service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and openings left by services added after handover. Whoever orders the work in Hatchet Green, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Hatchet Green often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
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.

Do you need fire stopping in Hatchet Green?
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped, and the repair is often skipped.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
On a hospital site such as Salisbury District Hospital, 5.8 miles to the north-west of Hatchet Green, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

Commercial clients in Hatchet Green
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
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 Hatchet Green can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Hampshire.
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The product your specification calls for
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Hatchet Green need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
Hatchet Green: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Salisbury District 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.
Is Hatchet Green too far out for you?
Not at all. Hatchet Green is within our area. 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.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements, and tell you if a detail needs another product.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Compartments and services around Hatchet Green
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
For a school such as Hale Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. Offices at parks like Downton Business Centre (2.2 miles north-west of Hatchet Green) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
Hatchet Green is in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP6, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 723 places in Hampshire, large and small. We also cover Southampton, some 15 miles away.
Commercial sites across SP6 are covered. If your site is on Hatchet Close and Hatchet Green or close by, we can quote for service penetrations.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
