Fire stopping in Hollington
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Hollington
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is improvised or mixed-product fire seals and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit. For commercial sealant work in Hollington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Hollington is typically 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Compartments and services around Hollington
Seven care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Hollington. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified. Hollington has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
On estates like Ponswood Industrial Estate, which lies south of Hollington, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. At a healthcare site like Conquest Hospital, which lies north-east of Hollington, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Questions about Hollington
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Hollington?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Hollington?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. 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.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Work in places the size of Hollington is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photos and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Advice
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The size and state of each joint
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Common problems we fix in Hollington
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are the usual culprits.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Penetration schedules that need working through
Schools such as Hollington Primary Academy often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
