Questions we’re asked in South Gorley
Is Headlands Business Park, near South Gorley, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in South Gorley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Headlands Business Park included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like South Gorley outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
How we handle fire stopping in South Gorley
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and hidden openings found during inspections. Whoever orders the work in South Gorley, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Smaller places such as South Gorley still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: 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 else we do in South Gorley
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Jobs in and around smaller places like South Gorley are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Quoting for work in South Gorley
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Do you need fire stopping in South Gorley?
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
In a building such as Church of the Holy Ascension, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Where services cross fire walls in South Gorley
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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Hospital estates such as Fordingbridge Hospital (2.5 miles north-west of South Gorley) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. Office fit-outs on sites such as Headlands Business Park (to the south of South Gorley) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
