Fire stopping in Mockbeggar
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. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you have unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and hidden openings found during inspections, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Mockbeggar, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions around Mockbeggar 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 ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Quoting for work in Mockbeggar
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
What the job involves on each surface
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we will never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Mockbeggar can form part of a wider programme across Medway.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Mockbeggar. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Mockbeggar, such as Gun Lane Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Mockbeggar and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gun Lane Business Centre. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Mockbeggar?
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 send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mockbeggar
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Older rural buildings around Mockbeggar move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
