Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products, and we will say if that applies.
How we handle fire stopping in Morton
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about fire stopping installed outside its tested range and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, across linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Morton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a smaller site near Morton, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photos first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Morton
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are the usual culprits.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
On a hospital site such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, which lies south-west of Morton, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

Questions we’re asked in Morton
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Morton?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Morton, such as Spithead Business Centre?
Yes, sites like Spithead Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Morton. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Is Morton in your area?
Yes. Morton falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do I request a quote?

Compartments and services around Morton
Morton has plenty 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. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Older community buildings such as St. Mary's Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Schools such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
Morton is about 1 mile north-east of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. We send applicators to Morton for service penetrations. Across the Isle of Wight, 125 places are covered, Morton among them. There’s a separate page for Portsmouth, roughly 10 miles from Morton.
If you need fire stopping in PO36, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on New Road, Wrax Road and Morton Road are within our area. Access to Morton is via the A3055 among other routes. If your building is just outside Morton, we cover Yarbridge (1 mile north-east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Adgestone (1 mile west), Yaverland (1 mile south-east) and Sandown (1 mile south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Newport (7 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Morton can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- 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.
Before we start on site

Advice
Cost factors for service penetrations
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
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.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Why deal with it now?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed. Older rural buildings around Morton 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
