Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- The site address and postcode
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
About our fire stopping in Lyne
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are openings left by services added after handover and non-fire-rated filler around services. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Lyne first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions around Lyne 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. If others near Lyne need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Questions we are asked in Lyne
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Lyne?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can you work in a care home near Lyne with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you cover Lyne?
Yes. Lyne is in our area and the rest of Surrey, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged and get them dealt with.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Commercial clients in Lyne
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
Compartment walls and floors in Lyne
Lyne lies roughly 21 miles out from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. The 2 miles around Lyne include three care or nursing homes. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product.
On a site such as Hersham Farm Business Park, which lies west of Lyne, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product. In a hotel such as King's Head Hotel (1.4 miles east of Lyne), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of Holy Trinity sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
