Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
Fire stopping in Kingston Bagpuize, done properly
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. If you’re dealing with expanding foam used as fire stopping and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

How the job changes by surface
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail, and we tell you if the bundle exceeds what sealant covers.
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do.
Where services cross fire walls in Kingston Bagpuize
At about 58 miles from central London, Kingston Bagpuize is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Residences at universities like University of Oxford (2.5 miles north-west of Kingston Bagpuize) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St John the Baptist sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Large healthcare estates like Abingdon Community Hospital (5.1 miles east of Kingston Bagpuize) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Work in places the size of Kingston Bagpuize is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Kingston Bagpuize, such as Kingston Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kingston Bagpuize, Kingston Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Kingston Bagpuize off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is sealant suitable for all service openings?
No. Each fire-rated sealant is tested for particular services, gap sizes and substrates. Outside that, a different product is needed, as set out by the designer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
