Fire stopping in Hurstpierpoint
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about old intumescent sealant that has split away and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Hurstpierpoint, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like Hurstpierpoint is normally a single building at a time. With the specification and photos of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Where services cross fire walls in Hurstpierpoint
At about 39 miles from central London, Hurstpierpoint is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Office fit-outs on sites such as Kings Business Centre, 1.5 miles north-west of Hurstpierpoint, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like The Dene Hospital (2.1 miles north of Hurstpierpoint) all have compartment walls crossed by services. In a school such as St Lawrence CofE Primary School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.

What else we do in Hurstpierpoint
Hurstpierpoint: questions and answers
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Hurstpierpoint?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes 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.
Is Hurstpierpoint too far out for you?
No. Places such as Hurstpierpoint are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. For buildings in places like Hurstpierpoint, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
