Fire stopping for St Ann's Green sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach and each detail can be checked as we go. For buildings around smaller places like St Ann's Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us

Fire stopping in St Ann's Green, done properly
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about service penetrations left open after M&E works and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St Ann's Green tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
A job near St Ann's Green is usually planned around one visit, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B.

Work for main contractors and building owners
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
What affects the price in St Ann's Green
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The product specified
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a building around St Ann's Green, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Quotes
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes, though larger ones usually call for a collar or wrap. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Common questions from St Ann's Green clients
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in St Ann's Green?
References to BS 476 classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, after which BS EN 13501-2 classification is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Is St Ann's Green too far out for you?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
