Fire stopping near Radley Green
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Fire stopping in Radley Green, done properly
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Most enquiries involve service penetrations left open after M&E works and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, on service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Radley Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a smaller site near Radley Green, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photos first. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
Compartment walls and floors in Radley Green
Radley Green is about 25 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; the gaps need the specified seal. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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.
On a hospital site such as Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (4.8 miles east of Radley Green), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
Radley Green is about 6 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Any commercial site in Radley Green is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 644 places in Essex, large and small. London is covered too, around 25 miles from Radley Green.
We cover the CM4 and CM5 postcode districts for service penetrations. Nearby places we also cover include Loves Green (1 mile south-east), Shellow Bowells (2 miles north), Norton Heath (2 miles south-west), Edney Common (2 miles east) and Newney Green (2 miles north-east). A short drive away, we cover Chelmsford (6 miles east), Basildon (12 miles south-east), Braintree (14 miles north-east), Harlow (10 miles west), Brentwood (7 miles south) and Maldon (14 miles east).
Around Radley Green
Around Radley Green, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Cuckoo pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ingatestone station, roughly 4.2 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Willingale Doe (2.2 miles north-west) and Chelmsford and Essex Hospital (4.8 miles east).
Common problems we fix in Radley Green
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
At a university such as Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus, which lies east of Radley Green, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.

Cost factors for service penetrations
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Working within restricted access windows
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- The postcode of the building
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Radley Green off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you seal any opening with fire-rated sealant?
No. It depends on the tested detail for that wall or floor and service. Collars, wraps, batts and boards exist for openings sealant doesn’t cover.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What changes on 2 September 2029?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B in England drops its references to BS 476 classes, with transitional arrangements set by the Government. After that, the European classification under BS EN 13501-2 is the route. Your designer will choose products with the right evidence.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
