How we handle fire stopping in Salfords
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. Most enquiries involve unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, across pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Salfords first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Smaller places such as Salfords still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Commercial clients in Salfords
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Salfords can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Surrey.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Salfords, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs 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 and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
FAQs: Salfords
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Salfords?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Is Salfords too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
Penetration seals near Salfords
A 2-mile radius around Salfords takes in several hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Salfords is about 21 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
Schools such as Salfords Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. Hotels like The Mill House Hotel, less than half a mile to the north of Salfords, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

When to call us in Salfords
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
Older community buildings such as Christ the King that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
What to look for in a quote
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
