Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Slough Green
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we’re called in for most is old intumescent sealant that has split away and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. Whoever orders the work in Slough Green, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Slough Green, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
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 Slough Green
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Slough Green: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like Haywards Heath College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Slough Green after a refit?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Is Slough Green in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Slough Green.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Cost factors for service penetrations
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Fire stopping around Slough Green: how the place shapes the job
Slough Green has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. At about 33 miles from central London, Slough Green is within reach of the capital. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal.
Hotels such as Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa (1.3 miles south-east of Slough Green) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. For a school such as Warden Park School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Rural sites near Slough Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
What we are called out for in Slough Green
Openings in fire-resisting walls normally appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route 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:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
On a hospital site such as The Dene Hospital, which lies south of Slough Green, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
