Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Henhurst
Facilities managers in Henhurst often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you are dealing with open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Henhurst, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions around Henhurst can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

Henhurst: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Lion Business Park, close to Henhurst?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Henhurst, Lion Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Gravesham Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you cover Henhurst?
Yes. Henhurst falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to get started.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Share the penetration schedule and product details for a fixed quote. We can follow the services contractor floor by floor.
Can you seal any opening with fire-rated sealant?
No. A sealant’s evidence covers set services, gaps and wall or floor types. If an opening falls outside, it needs another solution.
Do you have third-party installer accreditation for fire stopping?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so check your contract first. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Rural sites near Henhurst may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why it’s worth doing now in Henhurst
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product. Around Henhurst, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations

How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Where services cross fire walls in Henhurst
Henhurst is about 22 miles from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. A 2-mile radius around Henhurst takes in several hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Office fit-outs on sites such as Lion Business Park (to the north of Henhurst) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. For a site team at a college like North Kent College Gravesend Campus, 2.2 miles north of Henhurst, fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. In a hotel such as Tollgate Hotel, which lies north-west of Henhurst, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
