Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Horsell
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you have seals that don’t match their tested detail and penetration schedules that need working through, we can help, on linear gaps at wall heads, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Horsell from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Horsell that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Specified fire-rated sealant goes around new services there, built to match the manufacturer’s detail.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Quoting for work in Horsell
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Horsell
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are 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.
Your questions answered
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Horsell?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Does your area include sites such as Lion Retail Park, near Horsell?
Yes. We cover Horsell and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Lion Retail Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What we are called out for in Horsell
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position and has to be removed.
Look out for the following:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Woking College (1.6 miles south of Horsell) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
Before you book anyone
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Several jobs near Horsell can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Compartment walls and floors in Horsell
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. The 2 miles around Horsell include two care or nursing homes. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
For a unit at a site such as Lion Retail Park, 0.9 miles to the south-east of Horsell, any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail. For a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Woking, which lies south-east of Horsell, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
