Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Streat
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 won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Streat? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Smaller places such as Streat 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
Fire-rated sealing for Streat buildings
Central London is about 40 miles from Streat. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. From 2 September 2029, BS 476 references are being taken out of Approved Document B, leaving BS EN 13501-2 classification as the route, subject to the Government’s transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Tenant changes at parks like Ditchling Common Business Park (2 miles north of Streat) bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. In a building such as Streat Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

When to call us in Streat
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped, and the repair is often skipped.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
Campus buildings at universities such as University of Sussex, 3.3 miles north-east of Streat, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

Streat: questions and answers
Is Streat too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Streat are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work at a site such as Ditchling Common Business Park, by Streat?
Yes, sites like Ditchling Common Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Streat. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Streat
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Around Streat, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Why us?
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail using the same product.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
