Fire stopping in Huntercombe, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with fire stopping installed outside its tested range and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Huntercombe? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Huntercombe that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Around those penetrations, fire-rated sealant is installed if specified, with depth, backing and gap all as tested.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Work in places the size of Huntercombe is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.

What else we do in Huntercombe
Your questions answered
Is Huntercombe too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Huntercombe are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Huntercombe?
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.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
When to call us in Huntercombe
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls and later need putting right.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
For a unit at a site such as Bath Road Shopping Park, which lies east of Huntercombe, any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Compartment walls and floors in Huntercombe
At about 24 miles from central London, Huntercombe is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Huntercombe. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product.
Older community buildings such as St. Andrew's Shared Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For a school such as Cippenham Infant School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.
