About our fire stopping in Rotherwick
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it, matching the product and detail it names. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. Most enquiries involve seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and hidden openings found during inspections, on linear gaps at wall heads, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Whoever orders the work in Rotherwick, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Rural conversions around Rotherwick can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Why act early in Rotherwick
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed which is why earlier is better. Halls, stores and units around places like Rotherwick may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When to call us in Rotherwick
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
Holiday works at schools like Whitewater Church of England Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.

Your questions answered
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Rotherwick after a refit?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Rotherwick?
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.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Travel to remote or island sites
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For work around Rotherwick, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
General trades versus a specialist
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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
