Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Hazel Street
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can put it right, on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hazel Street, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Hazel Street, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- The site address and postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- What the building is and how it’s used
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Common questions from Hazel Street clients
Is Hazel Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2. The rating applies to the product as tested.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We will confirm the product and detail installed and agree any further records when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Hazel Street

When to bring in a 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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For a building around Hazel Street, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown and get them dealt with.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Fire stopping around Hazel Street: how the place shapes the job
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under 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. Central London is about 34 miles from Hazel Street. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Holiday works at schools like Horsmonden Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Hospital estates such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital (5.1 miles west of Hazel Street) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St Margaret sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
