Fire stopping in Seething Wells, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with improvised or mixed-product fire seals and expanding foam used as fire stopping, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Seething Wells, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant; tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Cost factors for service penetrations
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Signs you need fire stopping in Seething Wells
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
For a hospital such as Tolworth Hospital, 1.4 miles south-east of Seething Wells, penetration sealing is usually phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
Before you book anyone
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first and the building feels the difference. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Questions we are asked in Seething Wells
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Seething Wells?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Kingston University Penrhyn Road Campus?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Record which product was used where
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original, or a new specification from the designer.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a job in Seething Wells, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. Penetrations are sealed with the specified product, to its tested detail, under the building’s own permit rules.
Colleges such as Hillcroft College, 0.5 miles east of Seething Wells, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
