Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Fire stopping in Sellindge
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance. If you have expanding foam used as fire stopping and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can help. For commercial sealant work in Sellindge, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Sellindge often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.

What affects the price in Sellindge
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
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
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Any specification or named product
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Common questions from Sellindge clients
Is a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Evegate Business Park, near Sellindge, within your area?
Yes, sites like Evegate Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sellindge. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you have third-party installer accreditation for fire stopping?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

Why act early in Sellindge
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach. Older rural buildings around Sellindge move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Fire stopping in Sellindge: the local picture
At about 55 miles from central London, Sellindge is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Holiday works at schools like Sellindge Primary School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Office fit-outs on sites such as Evegate Business Park, 2.2 miles to the west of Sellindge, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like William Harvey Hospital (to the north-west of Sellindge) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For work around Sellindge, we aim to finish in one visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.

Advice
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
