How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area and tell you about openings outside the list.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
Fire stopping in Kingsley, done properly
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. Site teams most often ask us about penetration schedules that need working through and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kingsley first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Kingsley still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Kingsley
When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Kingsley
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Smaller jobs around Kingsley can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
To get a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Signs you need fire stopping in Kingsley
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access usually bring them to light.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
At a healthcare site like Chase Hospital, 2.3 miles south of Kingsley, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Questions about Kingsley
Is Kingsley too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Kingsley is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Bordon Trading Estate, near Kingsley?
Yes. Our area takes in Kingsley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bordon Trading Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 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. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job; found late, it can be one of many.
Fire stopping around Kingsley: how the place shapes the job
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Kingsley lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
In a building such as Church of All Saints, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. For a unit at a site such as Bordon Trading Estate, 1.2 miles to the south of Kingsley, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall.
