Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Pease Pottage
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. If you are dealing with damaged fire seals in risers and voids and old intumescent sealant that has split away, we can put it right. Most enquiries from Pease Pottage start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Pease Pottage, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. Send the specification, drawings or photographs of the openings and we will quote to suit.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For a site in Pease Pottage, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Related advice
Do you need fire stopping in Pease Pottage?
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
For a school such as Discovery New School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Why act early in Pease Pottage
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. For buildings in places like Pease Pottage, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

What affects the price in Pease Pottage
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
