Fire stopping in Littleton Common, done properly
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. Site teams most often ask us about improvised or mixed-product fire seals and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, across cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads.

Around smaller places like Littleton Common, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area.
Where services cross fire walls in Littleton Common
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations.

Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.

- When you need the work done

- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
What we are called out for in Littleton Common
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe, and the repair is often skipped.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
In a building such as Parish Church of St Matthew, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
