Need fire stopping in Radnage?
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Maintenance after handover
After handover, these steps help:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned.
About our fire stopping in Radnage
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover. Most enquiries from Radnage start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Radnage often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Radnage as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Quoting for work in Radnage
To price the job, we consider:
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Common questions from Radnage clients
Is Crownfield Industrial Estate, near Radnage, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Radnage, Crownfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wycombe Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No, that isn’t our role. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. We don’t certify or sign off fire stopping, and we hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. Our credentials are CHAS accreditation, Constructionline membership and CSCS-carded applicators, and we are fully insured. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we’re not the right fit for that package.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Radnage can form part of a wider programme.
Penetration seals near Radnage
Radnage lies roughly 35 miles out from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Wycombe Hospital, 5.5 miles south-east of Radnage, all have compartment walls crossed by services. Schools such as Radnage Church of England Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.
Radnage is about 6 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Any commercial site in Radnage is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
What we’re called out for in Radnage
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are what we find most often.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
On estates like Crownfield Industrial Estate, 1.8 miles to the north-east of Radnage, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For work around Radnage, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
