About our fire stopping in Sevenscore
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 alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and linear gaps at wall heads, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Sevenscore tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a smaller site near Sevenscore, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Do you need fire stopping in Sevenscore?
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings left by services added after handover
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Ramsgate General Hospital (2.8 miles east of Sevenscore) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
What your quote should include
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Sevenscore are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Move anything stored against the joints

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Sevenscore
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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 Sevenscore
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Sevenscore is about 63 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
For a building at a site such as Maple Leaf Business Park, 1.7 miles north-west of Sevenscore, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. Halls and meeting rooms at places like St Mary sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
Sevenscore is about 3 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Anywhere in CT12, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Sevenscore among them. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 63 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in CT12 are within our area for service penetrations. We also cover Cliffs End (1 mile east), Way (1 mile north-west), Ebbsfleet (1 mile south), Richborough Port (2 miles south) and Manston (2 miles north-east) for service penetrations. Further afield, our area takes in Canterbury (12 miles west), Margate (4 miles north-east), Dover (13 miles south), Ramsgate (3 miles east), Broadstairs (4 miles north-east) and Whitstable (14 miles west).
