Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Fire stopping in Langdon Hills
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal. The enquiries we see most involve unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Langdon Hills? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Langdon Hills can mix old and new construction, so it’s worth confirming the wall or floor type before choosing the seal. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Approving the work on behalf of building control

Compartments and services around Langdon Hills
Langdon Hills lies roughly 23 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; the gaps need the specified seal. 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.
For a building such as Church of St Mary, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. At a college such as Performers College, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Langdon Hills, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice.

Why deal with it now?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Small buildings around Langdon Hills suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Do you need fire stopping in Langdon Hills?
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Basildon University Hospital, 1.3 miles to the east of Langdon Hills, all have compartment walls crossed by services.

Surface by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables, so we check before sealing.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. What matters most for a job in Langdon Hills is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photographs of each area. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we will need
