Fire stopping near Odiham
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Odiham
Facilities managers in Odiham often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you’re dealing with unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Odiham, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Odiham that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Around those penetrations, fire-rated sealant is installed if specified, with depth, backing and gap all as tested.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Hampshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

FAQs: Odiham
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Odiham after a refit?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Odiham?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
For a fixed quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
From enquiry to sign-off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a job in Odiham, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.

Fire stopping in Odiham: the local picture
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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Odiham lies roughly 40 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like All Saints Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Schools such as Mayhill Junior School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. Offices at parks like Murrell Green Business Park, 2.4 miles to the north of Odiham, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
