Fire stopping in Reigate
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Signs you need fire stopping in Reigate
Openings in fire-resisting walls normally appear when services are added or changed. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Look out for the following:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
For a building at a site such as Chesterfield Business Park, 1.4 miles west of Reigate, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice.

Fire stopping in Reigate, done properly
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth 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 service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and damaged fire seals in risers and voids. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Reigate, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Towns the size of Reigate have plenty of buildings with compartment walls: schools, care homes, surgeries, offices and blocks of flats. New cabling or pipework through a fire-resisting wall leaves a gap that has to be made good with the specified product.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Common questions from Reigate clients
Can you work at a site such as Chesterfield Business Park, by Reigate?
Yes. We cover Reigate and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chesterfield Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Reigate?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Record which product was used where
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these, and the other benefits follow. A failed joint is easier to put right before damp shows inside. After a leak, there’s drying, repairs and redecoration on top.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Parking and loading for town-centre jobs in Reigate are worth mentioning when you send details. On estates and business parks it’s normally simpler.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Service penetrations in Reigate buildings
Reigate is about 19 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls. Reigate has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St Mary Magdalene sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. For a hospital such as East Surrey Hospital, 2.1 miles south-east of Reigate, penetration sealing is usually phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. We cover commercial sites throughout Reigate. Reigate is one of 379 places in Surrey on our list for service penetrations. There’s a separate page for London, about 19 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
