Fire stopping for Hazlemere sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
How we handle fire stopping in Hazlemere
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are fire sealant pulled out of the opening and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hazlemere? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Hazlemere is usually a single building at a time. With the specification and photographs of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
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 Hazlemere can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
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, and any that don’t are flagged.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
FAQs: Hazlemere
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Hazlemere?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Does your area include sites such as The Wye Industrial Estate, near Hazlemere?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hazlemere, The Wye Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
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.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Fire stopping around Hazlemere: 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Central London is about 28 miles from Hazlemere. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
In a building such as Holy Trinity Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. For a school such as Sir William Ramsay School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. At a university such as Buckinghamshire New University, 2.4 miles south-west of Hazlemere, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.
Hazlemere is about 2 miles north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Any commercial site in Hazlemere is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Work in places the size of Hazlemere is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
