How we handle fire stopping in Pevensey
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with damaged fire seals in risers and voids and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pevensey from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions around Pevensey can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For work around Pevensey, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Your questions answered
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Pevensey?
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. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can you work at a site such as Westham Industrial Estate, by Pevensey?
Yes. We cover Pevensey and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Westham Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work in Pevensey?
Yes. We take on work across Pevensey, with one number for every area we cover.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.

Cost factors for service penetrations
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Compartment walls and floors in Pevensey
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Pevensey is about 51 miles from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
For a unit at a site such as Westham Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Pevensey, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. Older community buildings such as St. Nicolas Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What the job involves on each surface
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
Common problems we fix in Pevensey
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
For a school such as Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.
