About our fire stopping in Horsleys Green
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on buildings around Horsleys Green. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and the failures we are asked to look at most are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and penetration schedules that need working through. Most enquiries from Horsleys Green start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a smaller site near Horsleys Green, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Do you need fire stopping in Horsleys Green?
Openings in fire-resisting walls typically appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Penetration schedules that need working through
Industrial units on estates such as Junction 5 Bates Industrial Estate (1.6 miles north-west of Horsleys Green) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.

What else we do in Horsleys Green
Where services cross fire walls in Horsleys Green
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Horsleys Green lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
In a school such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. At a healthcare site like Wycombe Hospital (5 miles east of Horsleys Green), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.
Horsleys Green is about 5 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Horsleys Green, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there, not months later.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Smaller jobs around Horsleys Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Common questions from Horsleys Green clients
Can you work at a site such as Junction 5 Bates Industrial Estate, by Horsleys Green?
Yes. Our area takes in Horsleys Green and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Junction 5 Bates Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Horsleys Green?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
