About our fire stopping in Nash
Facilities managers in Nash often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have penetration schedules that need working through and service penetrations left open after M&E works, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Nash is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a smaller site near Nash, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Compartments and services around Nash
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Central London is about 48 miles from Nash. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
Offices at parks like Greenway Business Park (2.4 miles south of Nash) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. For a hospital such as Bletchley Community Hospital, 4.9 miles east of Nash, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Common problems we fix in Nash
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access typically bring them to light.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
Older community buildings such as Church of All Saints that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
What your quote should include
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The named product and why it was chosen
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.

Surface by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer, and we’ll say if that applies.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
Questions about Nash
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Nash?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Bletchley Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
