Fire stopping in Peters Village
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve fire stopping installed outside its tested range and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Peters Village first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around Peters Village, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions about Peters Village
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Peters Village?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes 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 you take on a job at a hospital such as Spire Alexandra Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Peters Village in your area?
Yes. We cover Peters Village and the rest of Kent. To discuss a job, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the job changes by surface
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically.
What affects the price in Peters Village
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Service penetrations in Peters Village buildings
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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 26 miles from Peters Village. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Spire Alexandra Hospital, 2.9 miles to the east of Peters Village, all have compartment walls crossed by services. Older community buildings such as St Mary's Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For a school such as Halling Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Small buildings around Peters Village suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Peters Village need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
