Compartments and services around Nursted
At about 50 miles from central London, Nursted is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
On estates like Upper Adhurst Industrial Park (2.6 miles north of Nursted), the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. At a healthcare site like Petersfield Hospital, 1.7 miles north-west of Nursted, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Nursted
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Hotels such as The Red Lion Hotel (1.5 miles north-west of Nursted) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

Questions about Nursted
Is Nursted off your patch?
No. Places such as Nursted are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, by Nursted?
Yes, sites like Upper Adhurst Industrial Park are within our area, along with the rest of Nursted. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For a building around Nursted, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached

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
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, and it helps at inspections.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables, so we check before sealing.
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
