Fire stopping in North Moreton, done properly
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve openings left by services added after handover and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads. A single leaking joint is often how a building in North Moreton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like North Moreton often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like North Moreton, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For work around North Moreton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Signs you need fire stopping in North Moreton
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
In a building such as Church of All Saints, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
