About our fire stopping in South Godstone
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are non-fire-rated filler around services and fire stopping installed outside its tested range. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Godstone first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Rural conversions around South Godstone can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Compartments and services around South Godstone
At about 19 miles from central London, South Godstone is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic, 3.3 miles north-east of South Godstone, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. For a school such as St Stephen's CofE Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. In a building such as St Stephen, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What affects the price in South Godstone

South Godstone: questions and answers
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Lambs's Business Park, by South Godstone?
Yes, sites like Lambs's Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of South Godstone. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks, and England uses Approved Document B. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2 as E for integrity and I for insulation, with a time such as EI 60 or EI 120. The rating applies to the product as tested.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

Around South Godstone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
