About our fire stopping in Leaves Green
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. 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. If you have fire stopping installed outside its tested range and service penetrations left open after M&E works, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Leaves Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.

Where services cross fire walls in Leaves Green
With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, we install it to the tested detail under the building’s permit-to-work arrangements. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Older community buildings such as Keston Parish Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Hotels such as The Landing Hotel, 1.1 miles south of Leaves Green, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail, so we check each one.
When to call us in Leaves Green
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Deflection and building movement can open these gaps, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
Tenant changes at parks like Glebe Farm Business Park, 0.8 miles to the north of Leaves Green, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal.

Questions we are asked in Leaves Green
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Leaves Green?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can you work at a site such as Glebe Farm Business Park, by Leaves Green?
Yes. We cover Leaves Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Glebe Farm Business Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Are you fully insured?

Do you cover Leaves Green?
Yes. We take on work across Leaves Green, and the same phone number covers every area.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Leave it or put it right?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these, and the other benefits follow. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, which saves guesswork.
