Fire stopping in Perry
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Perry. If you are dealing with snag lists that include open service penetrations and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Perry first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For a smaller site near Perry, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why act early in Perry
Fire stopping is a regular point raised at inspections and handover. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. Converted and older buildings near places like Perry tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer, and we will say if that applies.
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
FAQs: Perry
Is Perry too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Perry are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Martins 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.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What changes on 2 September 2029?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B in England drops its references to BS 476 classes, with transitional arrangements set by the Government. After that, the European classification under BS EN 13501-2 is the route. Your designer will choose products with the right evidence.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
The tests are BS EN 1366-3 for penetrations and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, and classification is to BS EN 13501-2. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Perry need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Looking after the joints
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Fire stopping around Perry: what changes locally
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Central London is about 59 miles from Perry. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
On a hospital site such as St Martins Hospital, 5.6 miles west of Perry, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. In a building such as Elmstone Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where a unit on an estate such as Wingham Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Perry, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail.
Perry is about 7 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Anywhere in CT3, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Perry. There’s a separate page for London, roughly 59 miles from Perry.
If you need fire stopping in CT3, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Walmestone Road and Perry Lane are within our area. Close to Perry, our area also takes in Nash (1 mile east), Shatterling (1 mile south), Hoaden (1 mile east), Elmstone (1 mile north) and Broomhill (1 mile south-west). Bigger towns within reach include Canterbury (7 miles west), Margate (9 miles north-east), Dover (11 miles south), Folkestone (14 miles south), Ramsgate (8 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (10 miles north-east).
