Fire stopping for Mayford sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
Linear joints
Linear joints run along the head of a wall, at a slab edge or between two fire-resisting elements. Their tested detail, under BS EN 1366-4, sets the width, depth, backing and movement allowed.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Mayford
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are seals that don’t match their tested detail and service penetrations left open after M&E works. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Mayford tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller places such as Mayford still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Smaller jobs around Mayford can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mayford
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first and the building feels the difference. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Mayford. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Record which product was used where
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
