Fire stopping in Leagreen
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal rather than guesswork. We work on pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we’re called in for most is builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and damaged fire seals in risers and voids. Searching for sealant specialists in Leagreen? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Rural conversions around Leagreen 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.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Leagreen clients
Does your area include sites such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, near Leagreen?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Leagreen, Gore Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Leagreen?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Is Leagreen in your area?
Yes. We cover Leagreen, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to get started.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. 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. If others near Leagreen need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Service penetrations in Leagreen buildings
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Leagreen. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
For a building such as Church of All Saints, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Industrial units on estates such as Gore Road Industrial Estate, 2.7 miles west of Leagreen, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Leagreen, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Leagreen is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list. Sites around Southampton have their own page, roughly 15 miles from Leagreen.

Do you need fire stopping in Leagreen?
A common fault is a product that was never fire-rated in the first place: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position and has to be removed.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Hidden openings found during inspections
Hospital estates such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (to the north-east of Leagreen) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

What else we do in Leagreen
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The product your specification calls for
- The postcode of the building
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail, and we tell you if the bundle exceeds what sealant covers.
