Fire stopping in Strood Green
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. Most enquiries involve unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Strood Green tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Strood Green often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Strood Green, we aim to finish in one 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.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Quotes
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Strood Green

Do you need fire stopping in Strood Green?
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are the usual culprits.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Schools such as North Downs Primary School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.

Fire stopping around Strood Green: what changes locally

Office fit-outs on sites such as Glebelands Centre Business Park, 2.5 miles to the west of Strood Green, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Dorking Community Hospital?

Do you cover Strood Green?
Yes. We take on work across Strood Green.
Which standards are fire seals tested to?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement and the installation has to match the test.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.

Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- The product specified
- Phasing around occupants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
