About our fire stopping in Shooter's Hill
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. If you have unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Shooter's Hill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Taller residential buildings in London may fall under the Building Safety Act’s higher-risk regime, where fire-stopping records get close attention. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Common questions from Shooter's Hill clients
Will you take on work at estates like Gateway Business Centre, close to Shooter's Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in Shooter's Hill and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Gateway Business Centre included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Would you work within a site like Memorial Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements, and tell you if a detail needs another product.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
When to bring in a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Shooter's Hill
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shooter's Hill
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable, rather than turning into a full building survey and reseal. Failed sealant in a building in Shooter's Hill can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads

Quoting for work in Shooter's Hill
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
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.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Compartment walls and floors in Shooter's Hill
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Shooter's Hill. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. Every new tenant in a London building tends to bring new cabling, and with it new holes through compartment walls. We install fire-rated sealant where it is specified and work within the building manager’s permit system.
Offices at parks like Gateway Business Centre (to the north of Shooter's Hill) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. Campus buildings at universities such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill, 1.6 miles to the south of Shooter's Hill, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified. In a retail centre such as Stone Lake Retail Park, 2 miles north-west of Shooter's Hill, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
