Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Palestine
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail, not a rule of thumb. If you are dealing with fire stopping installed outside its tested range and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can help. Most enquiries from Palestine start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: 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 Palestine 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: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Penetration seals near Palestine
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Palestine is about 70 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
For a building such as Church of St Leonard, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
Palestine is in Hampshire. Anywhere in SP11, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Palestine is one of 723 places we cover in Hampshire for service penetrations. Our Southampton page has more on work in that area, about 20 miles away.

Do you need fire stopping in Palestine?
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe, and the repair is often skipped.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Openings left by services added after handover
Holiday works at schools like Grateley Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What happens if it’s left?
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme, so earlier action pays back. Older rural buildings around Palestine move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Palestine need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- 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.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice

What else we do in Palestine
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
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 and we work within those limits.
Common questions from Palestine clients
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Palestine?
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.
Is Palestine too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Cost factors for service penetrations
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
