Fire stopping across Roffey
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a site in Roffey, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
About our fire stopping in Roffey
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal rather than guesswork. Site teams most often ask us about penetration schedules that need working through and non-fire-rated filler around services, on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Roffey, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places like Roffey, many commercial buildings are conversions or extensions of older ones, so the wall or floor a service passes through isn’t always what the drawings assume. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Penetration seals near Roffey
Roffey has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. At about 31 miles from central London, Roffey is within reach of the capital. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
At a healthcare site like Horsham Hospital, which lies west of Roffey, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. For a unit at a site such as Nightingale Trading Estate, 0.9 miles to the west of Roffey, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. Colleges such as The College of Richard Collyer, 1 mile west of Roffey, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
Roffey is about 1 mile north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Roffey use us for work on service penetrations. Roffey is one of 373 places we cover in West Sussex for service penetrations. We also cover Brighton, some 18 miles away.

Your questions answered
How does the move away from BS 476 affect penetration seals in Roffey?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Does your area include sites such as Nightingale Trading Estate, near Roffey?
Yes, sites like Nightingale Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Roffey. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
What affects the price in Roffey
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
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.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Record which product was used where
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, and the data sheet says which.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Leave it or put it right?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme, so earlier action pays back. In a smaller place such as Roffey, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
