Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown, and report them promptly.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Why deal with it now?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Halls, stores and units around places like Hollington may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Do you need fire stopping in Hollington?
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
In a building such as Church of St Thomas, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any dates the work must fit around
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
When to bring in a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Hollington need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Questions we are asked in Hollington
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Hollington?
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.
Is Hollington too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Fire stopping around Hollington: what changes locally
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. Central London is about 57 miles from Hollington. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Schools such as St Thomas' Church of England Infant School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
