Questions about Liphook
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Liphook?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Liphook?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How long before the joints can be used?
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.
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.
About our fire stopping in Liphook
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance in Liphook and nearby. If you’re dealing with penetration schedules that need working through and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Liphook, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Liphook 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Where services cross fire walls in Liphook
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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Liphook lies roughly 42 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.
Where a unit on an estate such as Passfield Industrial Estate, which lies north-west of Liphook, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. For a school such as Bohunt School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. In a hotel such as Royal Anchor Hotel, less than half a mile south-west of Liphook, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
Liphook is about 8 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Looking for fire stopping in Liphook? We can help, as we do across Hampshire. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places, large and small. Portsmouth is covered too, around 22 miles from Liphook.

Cost factors for service penetrations
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.

Our process
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. For a site in Liphook, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

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, so earlier action pays back. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products, and we will say if that applies.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
