About our fire stopping in Hurtmore
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you are dealing with service penetrations left open after M&E works and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Hurtmore is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Rural conversions around Hurtmore can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Work for main contractors and building owners
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.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Hurtmore can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Hurtmore, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- 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.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Fire-rated sealing for Hurtmore buildings
At about 31 miles from central London, Hurtmore is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For an estates team at a campus like University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus, 2.6 miles north of Hurtmore, summer M&E works are normally followed by a round of penetration sealing. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Godalming College, 1.8 miles to the south of Hurtmore, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. For a building at a site such as Godalming Business Centre (1.6 miles south-east of Hurtmore), a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice.

Well-known places in the area include Charterhouse School Museum (0.6 miles south-east) and Milford Hospital (2.4 miles south). For a walk, there’s Frith Hill and Farncombe Wood.
What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Older rural buildings around Hurtmore move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Questions about Hurtmore
Can you work at a site such as Godalming Business Centre, by Hurtmore?
Yes. We cover Hurtmore and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Godalming Business Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Hurtmore too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No. The specification comes from your designer, fire engineer or building control. Our role is installing what they specify, to the product’s tested detail.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
