Fire stopping for businesses in Manor Park

Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.

Fire stopping in Manor Park

For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Manor Park tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.

Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What affects the price in Manor Park

Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:

  • The size and state of each joint
  • Removal of failed or old sealant
  • Any access equipment needed
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What we need to price the job

We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:

  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work
  • The postcode of the building
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.

What sealant work can’t fix

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
  • Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
  • Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping

If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
  • Cable penetrations
  • Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
  • Pipe penetrations
  • Service gaps in risers
  • Linear gaps at wall heads

What the job involves on each surface

Small ducts

We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.

Masonry and concrete

Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Manor Park

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.

FAQs: Manor Park

Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Manor Park?

Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.

How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Manor Park?

References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.

Will you quote for a small job?

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.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Is colour matching possible?

That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

When is resealing likely to be due?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.

Can you handle several sites?

Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Maintenance after handover

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:

  • Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
  • Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
  • Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
  • Include service cupboards in routine inspections

Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted.

Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job.

From enquiry to sign-off

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

  1. We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
  2. Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
  3. Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
  4. We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
  5. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
  6. If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.

What we need from you

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Share your working hours and any access restrictions
  • Point out any areas we must not close

Quotes

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Penetration seals near Manor Park

Manor Park has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. There are 15 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Manor Park. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.

On a hospital site such as Barking Community Hospital, which lies south-east of Manor Park, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Hotels like Cedar Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-east of Manor Park, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. At a retail site such as Beckton Triangle Retail Park, 2 miles south of Manor Park, walls between units may be fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need the specified seal.
