Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Stick Hill
Facilities managers in Stick Hill often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. 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 seals that don’t match their tested detail and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Stick Hill is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Smaller places such as Stick Hill still have buildings with fire-resisting walls and floors: schools, halls, care homes and commercial conversions. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Stick Hill
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of the Holy Trinity sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
What happens if it’s left?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Around Stick Hill, 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.
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.

How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits

Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs in and around smaller places like Stick Hill are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
