From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Peaks Hill
Facilities managers in Peaks Hill 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 using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you’re dealing with openings left by services added after handover and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Peaks Hill, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you will hear it from us.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Surface by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers, and we work within it.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Common problems we fix in Peaks Hill
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are what we find most often.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Purley War Memorial Hospital (to the east of Peaks Hill) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What happens if it’s left?
Open penetrations multiply: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Fire stopping around Peaks Hill: how the place shapes the job
Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules. The 2 miles around Peaks Hill include nine care or nursing homes. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
Hotels such as London Croydon Aerodrome Hotel (to the north-east of Peaks Hill) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. For a site team at a college like Purley Language College (0.7 miles south-east of Peaks Hill), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works.

FAQs: Peaks Hill
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Peaks Hill?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can work at a site such as Purley Language College fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
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.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
