Nately Scures: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Nately Scures?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Fire stopping in Nately Scures, done properly
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance. Most enquiries involve service penetrations left open after M&E works and snag lists that include open service penetrations, on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Nately Scures, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Nately Scures, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What we’re called out for in Nately Scures
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and the wrong product can split as a result. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St. Nicholas sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
Leave it or put it right?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. Older rural buildings around Nately Scures 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.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think before you book.

Nately Scures has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Offices at parks like Optrex Business Centre, 1.6 miles to the north of Nately Scures, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. For a school such as Robert May's School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.
