How we handle fire stopping in Shalford
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Most enquiries involve openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, across cable penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Shalford, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a smaller site near Shalford, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Smaller jobs around Shalford can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?

How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and installation follows the programme.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. Around Shalford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
