Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Kingston University?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We will confirm the products and details used.
Will fire-rated sealant work on every penetration?
No. It depends on the tested detail for that wall or floor and service. Collars, wraps, batts and boards exist for openings sealant doesn’t cover.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How we handle fire stopping in Motspur Park
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. Most enquiries involve expanding foam used as fire stopping and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, across linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Motspur Park first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a job in Motspur Park, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
When to call us in Motspur Park
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Look out for the following:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Large healthcare estates like New Victoria Hospital (less than half a mile north-west of Motspur Park) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What site paperwork they can supply
Fire stopping in Motspur Park: the local picture
The 2 miles around Motspur Park include eight care or nursing homes. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules.
At a university such as Kingston University, 1.4 miles north-west of Motspur Park, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. Offices at parks like Shannon Commercial Centre (0.6 miles south of Motspur Park) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
What happens if it’s left?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small, rather than turning into a full building survey and reseal. Failed sealant in a building in Motspur Park can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
