Fire stopping for Hill Brow sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer and we flag that rather than guess.
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We follow your schedule area by area.
How we handle fire stopping in Hill Brow
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and damaged fire seals in risers and voids. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hill Brow tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions around Hill Brow 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Hill Brow may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Quoting for work in Hill Brow
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The product specified
- Travel to remote or island sites
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Fire-rated sealing for Hill Brow buildings
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Central London is about 47 miles from Hill Brow. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
Large healthcare estates like Petersfield Community Hospital (to the south-west of Hill Brow) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Rake Mission Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. On estates like Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, 1.3 miles south-west of Hill Brow, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.
Hill Brow is about 3 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Across the GU33 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 18 miles away.

Other landmarks nearby include Bear Museum (3.4 miles south-west) and Petersfield Community Hospital (3.5 miles south-west). Not far away are Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and Wheatham Hill.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Record which product was used where
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there instead of being left for someone else.
Common questions from Hill Brow clients
Is Hill Brow off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Would you work within a site like Petersfield Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see and we close them with the specified product.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested and the installation has to match the test.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
