Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Lane End
Facilities managers in Lane End often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. If you are dealing with head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and hidden openings found during inspections, we can help, on cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Lane End it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a smaller site near Lane End, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What else we do in Lane End
On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building around Lane End, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- 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.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
Questions we are asked in Lane End
Is a hospital such as St John's Rooms And Chapel somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Lane End?
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.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lane End
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. For buildings around smaller places like Lane End, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
