About our fire stopping in New Yatt
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal rather than guesswork. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. Whoever orders the work in New Yatt, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
A job near New Yatt is usually planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Do you need fire stopping in New Yatt?
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
At a healthcare site like Witney Community Hospital, 2.4 miles to the south-west of New Yatt, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.
What your quote should include
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
FAQs: New Yatt
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Witney Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near New Yatt, such as New Yatt Business Centre?
Yes, sites like New Yatt Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of New Yatt. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
Is New Yatt in your area?
Yes. New Yatt falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Cost factors for service penetrations
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
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 instead of being left for someone else.

Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
