Fire stopping for North Hayling sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Fire stopping in North Hayling, done properly
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are expanding foam used as fire stopping and damaged fire seals in risers and voids. Most enquiries from North Hayling start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
A job near North Hayling is typically planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

North Hayling: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Elmleigh Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in North Hayling?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Do you work in North Hayling?
Yes. North Hayling falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Jobs in and around smaller places like North Hayling are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in North Hayling
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. Older rural buildings around North Hayling 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.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Record which product was used where
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Compartment walls and floors in North Hayling
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from North Hayling. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Residences at universities like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus (to the south-west of North Hayling) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St Peter sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. On a hospital site such as Elmleigh Hospital (2.5 miles north of North Hayling), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

Quoting for work in North Hayling
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- Phasing around occupants
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
