Fire stopping in Little Hoddington, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and service penetrations left open after M&E works, across service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Hoddington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions around Little Hoddington can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Owners, agents and contractors
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Fire stopping in Little Hoddington: the local picture
At about 43 miles from central London, Little Hoddington is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
In a building such as Church of St Mary, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. On a hospital site such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, which lies north-west of Little Hoddington, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. On estates like Hatch Industrial Park, 2.7 miles north-west of Little Hoddington, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.
Little Hoddington is about 5 miles south-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Little Hoddington need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. 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.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Little Hoddington
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 building feels the difference. Around Little Hoddington, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- CHAS accredited
