Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
How we handle fire stopping in Holme Green
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you have openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Holme Green, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a smaller site near Holme Green, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

What else we do in Holme Green
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Your questions answered
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Holme Green?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Holme Green?
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.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do and we will tell you what the detail says instead.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
On site: what to expect
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a building around Holme Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- 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.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
Request a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Advice
Fire-rated sealing for Holme Green buildings
A 2-mile radius around Holme Green takes in a good number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Where a unit on an estate such as Molly Millars Lane Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the west of Holme Green, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. In a hotel such as Easthampstead Park Hotel, 1 mile east of Holme Green, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a site team at a college like Newbold College of Higher Education, which lies north-east of Holme Green, fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works.
