Signs you need fire stopping in Old Wolverton
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
Hotels such as Cosgrove Lodge Hotel (1 mile north-west of Old Wolverton) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Before you book anyone

- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Fire stopping in Old Wolverton
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Old Wolverton first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Old Wolverton, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. Send the specification, drawings or photos of the openings and we’ll quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions about Old Wolverton
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Old Wolverton?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.

Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Wolverton
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What the job involves on each surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do and we will tell you what the detail says instead.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter.
