Fire stopping in Lurgashall
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 part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fire sealant pulled out of the opening and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit. Most enquiries from Lurgashall start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Lurgashall often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in West Sussex. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

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, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If others near Lurgashall need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls

Fire-rated sealing for Lurgashall buildings
Lurgashall lies roughly 41 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. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
At a healthcare site like Midhurst Community Hospital (4.1 miles south-west of Lurgashall), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. On estates like Colhook Industrial Park., 1.8 miles east of Lurgashall, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. In a building such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Your questions answered

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lurgashall
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Halls, stores and units around places like Lurgashall may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
