- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

About our fire stopping in Stone
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Stone. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and snag lists that include open service penetrations. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Stone? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Stone, 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from Stone clients
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Stone?
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. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Stone, such as Bicester Road Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Stone, Bicester Road Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. Converted and older buildings near places like Stone tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Fully insured
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators

General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally 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.
Fire stopping around Stone: how the place shapes the job
Central London is about 39 miles from Stone. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
On a hospital site such as Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital, 2.4 miles north-east of Stone, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. For a unit at a site such as Bicester Road Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles north-east of Stone, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. For an estates team at a campus like University Campus Aylesbury Vale, which lies east of Stone, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing.
Stone is about 2 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire.

From enquiry to sign-off

If others near Stone need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
