Fire stopping in Selsdon, done properly
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. The enquiries we see most involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Selsdon first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In a London area such as Selsdon, buildings are refitted often, and every new cable, pipe or duct through a fire-resisting wall or floor leaves a gap. Where the specification names fire-rated sealant, it goes in exactly as the manufacturer’s test evidence shows for that wall or floor.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What affects the price in Selsdon
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- 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 speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Compartment walls and floors in Selsdon
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Selsdon. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits.
Large healthcare estates like Shirley Oaks Hospital (2.6 miles north of Selsdon) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. In a hotel such as Selsdon Park Hotel, which lies south-west of Selsdon, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.

Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When to call us in Selsdon
Openings in fire-resisting walls usually appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
In a retail centre such as Whitgift Centre, which lies north-west of Selsdon, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
Comparing quotes
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Their public liability cover
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.

Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re 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. In Selsdon, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
