Fire stopping across Oakley Green
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Oakley Green
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you are dealing with penetration schedules that need working through and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can help, on service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Oakley Green? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Oakley Green, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

FAQs: Oakley Green
Is hospital work, at somewhere like King Edward VII Hospital, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Oakley Green after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Is Oakley Green in your area?
Yes. Sites across Oakley Green are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Compartment walls and floors in Oakley Green
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Oakley Green. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. Oakley Green is about 25 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Residences at universities like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (4.8 miles south of Oakley Green) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. For a site team at a college like Windsor College, 2.2 miles to the east of Oakley Green, fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works.
Oakley Green is about 1 mile west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We send applicators to Oakley Green for service penetrations. Oakley Green is one of 60 places in Windsor and Maidenhead on our list for service penetrations. Reading is covered too, some 14 miles away.

What we are called out for in Oakley Green
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Look out for the following:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
For a hospital such as King Edward VII Hospital, 2.2 miles to the east of Oakley Green, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Smaller jobs around Oakley Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

What else we do in Oakley Green
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown and get them dealt with.
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.
