About our fire stopping in Haywood
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. Site teams most often ask us about fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Haywood tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Haywood, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
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.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Haywood
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Why act early in Haywood
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why us?
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Haywood: questions and answers
Is Haywood too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Haywood is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Haywood?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
