About our fire stopping in Hurley
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and hidden openings found during inspections. Searching for sealant specialists in Hurley? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places like Hurley, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions we’re asked in Hurley
Could you schedule work at a campus like Berkshire College of Agriculture for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Hurley, such as Rashleighs Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Rashleighs Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Hurley. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you fire stop behind the services contractors?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades keeping pace with the programme.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you have third-party installer accreditation for fire stopping?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Some clients require third-party installer schemes even though the law doesn’t, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged and get them dealt with.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hurley are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out 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
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

What else we do in Hurley
Building owners, agents and FMs in Hurley
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hurley
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. For buildings around smaller places like Hurley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Office fit-outs on sites such as Rashleighs Business Centre (2 miles south-east of Hurley) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.
