Fire stopping in Mundy Bois, done properly
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and hidden openings found during inspections, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Mundy Bois from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Mundy Bois, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Mundy Bois clients
Is Mundy Bois too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Mundy Bois?
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. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
General trades versus a specialist
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Compartments and services around Mundy Bois
At about 42 miles from central London, Mundy Bois is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
For a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St James sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.
How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Mundy Bois may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
