Fire stopping around Park Farm: points for this area
Park Farm is about 49 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. A 2-mile radius around Park Farm takes in several hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Ellingham Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Park Farm, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. For a school such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Park Farm
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open.

Around smaller places like Park Farm, many commercial buildings are conversions or extensions of older ones, so it’s worth confirming the wall or floor type before choosing the seal. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
When to call us in Park Farm
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all 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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
For a hospital such as The One Ashford Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north-east of Park Farm, penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.

FAQs: Park Farm
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as The One Ashford Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Park Farm after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.

Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.

How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Advice

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Park Farm can form part of a wider programme across Kent.
