How we handle fire stopping in Hurst Green
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Hurst Green and nearby. If you have seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and seals that don’t match their tested detail, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hurst Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Hurst Green often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
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.

Why act early in Hurst Green
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed, so earlier action pays back. Older rural buildings around Hurst Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Advice
Common questions from Hurst Green clients
Is Hurst Green too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Hurst 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. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.

When to call us in Hurst Green
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 repair is often skipped.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
Holiday works at schools like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record which product was used where
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
