Fire stopping in Heckfield Heath
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve non-fire-rated filler around services and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, on service gaps in risers, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and linear gaps at wall heads. Most enquiries from Heckfield Heath start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions around Heckfield Heath can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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. Smaller jobs around Heckfield Heath can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Surface by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Your questions answered
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Heckfield Heath?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Is Heckfield Heath off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
