About our fire stopping in Ravenstone
No fire sealant works on its own: 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. If you have fire stopping installed outside its tested range and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Ravenstone, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A job near Ravenstone is normally planned around one visit, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Milton Keynes. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Questions we’re asked in Ravenstone
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Ravenstone?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Ravenstone?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you work in Ravenstone?
Yes. We take on work across Ravenstone, with one number for every area we cover.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Ravenstone. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Fire stopping in Ravenstone: the local picture
At about 53 miles from central London, Ravenstone is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
In a building such as Church of All Saints, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Buildings near Ravenstone get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.

On site: what to expect

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
What affects the price in Ravenstone
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ravenstone
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. Halls, stores and units around places like Ravenstone may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
