About our fire stopping in Hookwood
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. If you have unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Hookwood, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a smaller site near Hookwood, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Hookwood
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hookwood. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

What else we do in Hookwood
Common problems we fix in Hookwood
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
Office fit-outs on sites such as Gatwick Business Park (less than half a mile west of Hookwood) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

Hookwood: questions and answers
Is Hookwood too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you take on work at estates like Gatwick Business Park, close to Hookwood?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Hookwood, Gatwick Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Where services cross fire walls in Hookwood
A 2-mile radius around Hookwood takes in a good number of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Older community buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. At a healthcare site like Spire Gatwick Park Hospital (Private) (under half a mile east of Hookwood), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. Older rural buildings around Hookwood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Hookwood need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
