About our fire stopping in Raynes Park
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. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations, and what we are called in for most is fire stopping installed outside its tested range and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open. Searching for sealant specialists in Raynes Park? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
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, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Raynes Park can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Building owners, agents and FMs in Raynes Park
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Raynes Park. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
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.

What else we do in Raynes Park
Do you need fire stopping in Raynes Park?
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
For a unit at a centre such as Priory Retail Park, 2.4 miles east of Raynes Park, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit.

Where services cross fire walls in Raynes Park
Eight care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Raynes Park. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Colleges such as Interprime College London, 0.9 miles to the west of Raynes Park, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product. At a university such as Kingston University, 2.3 miles north-west of Raynes Park, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.

Raynes Park: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.

Which standards are fire seals tested to?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. 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. The rating applies to the product as tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.

Yes. Sites across Raynes Park are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
