About our fire stopping in Remenham Hill
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damaged fire seals in risers and voids and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Remenham Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a smaller site near Remenham Hill, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Service penetrations in Remenham Hill buildings
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Remenham Hill. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Holiday works at schools like Rupert House School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Older community buildings such as Church of St Nicholas that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For an estates team at a campus like University of Reading, 3.8 miles south-west of Remenham Hill, summer M&E works are normally followed by a round of penetration sealing.
Remenham Hill is about 5 miles south-west of Marlow, in Wokingham. Across the RG9 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Wokingham coverage takes in 42 places. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 8 miles from Remenham Hill.

Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Reading?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is Remenham Hill off your patch?
No. Places such as Remenham Hill are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Building standards in Scotland are separate from England’s. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown and get them dealt with.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.

What else we do in Remenham Hill
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Remenham Hill need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Advice
Surface by surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, along the full length of the run.
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
