Fire stopping near Hatchford End
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Rural sites near Hatchford End may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Fire stopping in Hatchford End: the local picture
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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. Hatchford End has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
In a hotel such as The Hautboy Hotel (0.9 miles south-west of Hatchford End), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. At a retail site such as Wey Retail Park, which lies north-west of Hatchford End, walls between units may be fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need the specified seal.
Hatchford End is about 4 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. Hatchford End sits inside our coverage and the rest of Surrey, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. We work across 379 places in Surrey. London is covered too, around 20 miles from Hatchford End.

Common questions from Hatchford End clients
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Hatchford End after a refit?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Hatchford End?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
When to call us in Hatchford End
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Hidden openings found during inspections
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Cobham Community Hospital and Health Centre (to the north-east of Hatchford End) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee

What else we do in Hatchford End
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail using the same product.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
