About our fire stopping in Seven Sisters
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal rather than guesswork. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are hidden openings found during inspections and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. Most enquiries from Seven Sisters start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Fit-outs and M&E works in London buildings often leave service penetrations open behind ceilings and in risers. If sealant is the specified product we fit it to its tested detail, and if the detail needs something else, you’ll hear it from us.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers

Is the BS 476 change in 2029 relevant to fire stopping?

Fire stopping in Seven Sisters: the local picture
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Seven Sisters has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
In a hotel such as United Lodge Hotel, 1.2 miles south-west of Seven Sisters, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. On a hospital site such as St Ann's Hospital, 0.6 miles west of Seven Sisters, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Shop fits on retail sites such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Seven Sisters, can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, to be sealed with the specified product.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Arrange parking or a loading space
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, along the full length of the run.
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
