About our fire stopping in Pinkneys Green
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about expanding foam used as fire stopping and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, across cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pinkneys Green from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Pinkneys Green that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Around those penetrations, fire-rated sealant is installed if specified, with depth, backing and gap all as tested.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest so we know it sits within the tested range.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on, so we check each one.
Where services cross fire walls in Pinkneys Green
At about 29 miles from central London, Pinkneys Green is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Pinkneys Green. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
On a hospital site such as St Mark's Hospital, which lies south-east of Pinkneys Green, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. For a hotel such as Hurley House Hotel, 1.4 miles west of Pinkneys Green, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Colleges such as Berkshire College of Agriculture (1.8 miles west of Pinkneys Green) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
Pinkneys Green is about 1 mile north-west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We send applicators to Pinkneys Green for service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Windsor and Maidenhead coverage takes in 60 places. Sites around Reading have their own page, roughly 11 miles from Pinkneys Green.

We also cover Stubbings (1 mile west), Furze Platt (1 mile east), Maidenhead (1 mile south-east), Holloway (1 mile south-west) and Burchett's Green (1 mile west).

Around Pinkneys Green

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
What affects the price in Pinkneys Green
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How accessible the joints are
- Joint width, depth and condition
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. What matters most for a job in Pinkneys Green is a clear list of what needs doing. You will then get a fixed price for the work.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail, by someone who knows the system.
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.
Pinkneys Green: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Mark's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Pinkneys Green off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2 as E for integrity and I for insulation, with a time such as EI 60 or EI 120. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the product and detail installed, and you can tell us what other records you need at quote stage.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
