Holmbury St Mary: questions and answers
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Holmbury St Mary?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is a smaller place like Holmbury St Mary outside your area?
Not at all. Holmbury St Mary is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
About our fire stopping in Holmbury St Mary
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings 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 pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are penetration schedules that need working through and seals that don’t match their tested detail. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Holmbury St Mary is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a smaller site near Holmbury St Mary, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Penetration seals near Holmbury St Mary
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Holmbury St Mary is about 25 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
For a hotel such as Hurtwood Hotel, 1.4 miles west of Holmbury St Mary, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Schools such as Belmont Prep School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. Halls and meeting rooms at places like St Mary The Virgins Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Jobs in and around smaller places like Holmbury St Mary are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Holmbury St Mary
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first and the building feels the difference. Around Holmbury St Mary, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Quoting for work in Holmbury St Mary
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, with no gaps along the run.
