Fire stopping in Lenham, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. If you have seals that don’t match their tested detail and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Lenham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Lenham, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. With the specification and photos of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

- Pipe penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.

Leave it or put it right?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed which is why earlier is better. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For a job in Lenham, the main thing is a clear picture of the work, so send photographs of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Lenham can form part of a wider programme.
Common questions from Lenham clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Canterbury Christ Church University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Roebuck Business Park, near Lenham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Lenham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Roebuck Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we are not the right fit for that package.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Service penetrations in Lenham buildings
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Lenham lies roughly 39 miles out from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Hotels like Chilston Park Hotel, 1.3 miles to the south of Lenham, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. Offices at parks like Roebuck Business Park, 1.7 miles to the west of Lenham, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. Campus buildings at universities such as Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.5 miles to the north-west of Lenham, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.
