Fire stopping for Phoenix Green sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. You can also send details through our quote form.
About our fire stopping in Phoenix Green
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 will confirm with the quote. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and openings left by services added after handover. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Phoenix Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions around Phoenix Green 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. Around Phoenix Green, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Phoenix Green can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

When to call us in Phoenix Green
Openings in fire-resisting walls typically appear when services are added or changed. 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.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Fleet Community Hospital (to the east of Phoenix Green) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
What your quote should include
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
Phoenix Green: questions and answers
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Phoenix Green?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Phoenix Green?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Fire stopping in Phoenix Green: the local picture
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Phoenix Green lies roughly 38 miles out from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls.
In a building such as St Mary's Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. For a school such as Greenfields Junior School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.
