Fire stopping in Pizien Well, done properly
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are openings left by services added after handover and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Pizien Well is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Pizien Well, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why act early in Pizien Well
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. For buildings around smaller places like Pizien Well, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Common problems we fix in Pizien Well
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position, so it has to come out.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
In a school such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.

Pizien Well: questions and answers
Is Pizien Well too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Pizien Well are covered as much as the big towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Mereworth Business Centre, close to Pizien Well?
Yes, sites like Mereworth Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Pizien Well. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement; installing to the detail is what carries that across to site.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Pizien Well, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Related advice
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we’ll tell you what the detail says instead.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
