Fire stopping in Hook, done properly
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you are dealing with open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Hook? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a smaller site near Hook, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Fire stopping around Hook: points for this area
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. At about 68 miles from central London, Hook is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
For a building such as Church of St Mary, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. On a site such as Kite's Croft Business Park, 1.5 miles north-east of Hook, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
Hook is about 1 mile south-east of Warsash, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Hook. Hook is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list for service penetrations. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 7 miles away.

Do you need fire stopping in Hook?
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
For a school such as Locks Heath Infant School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Questions we are asked in Hook
Can you work on a hospital site such as Fareham Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Hook too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hook are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We’ll confirm the products and details used.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested; installing to the detail is what carries that across to site.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Quoting for work in Hook
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Access details, including height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
