About our fire stopping in Sundridge
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. If you are dealing with unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can put it right, on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Sundridge, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Rural conversions around Sundridge can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
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.

FAQs: Sundridge
Can you work at a site such as Salters Heath Business Centre, by Sundridge?
Yes, sites like Salters Heath Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Sundridge. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Would you work within a site like Sevenoaks Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
Penetration seals are tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2 as E for integrity and I for insulation, with a time such as EI 60 or EI 120. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks, while England relies on Approved Document B. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the products and details used.

Compartment walls and floors in Sundridge
Sundridge lies roughly 18 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Holiday works at schools like Combe Bank School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Church of St Mary sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Office fit-outs on sites such as Salters Heath Business Centre, 1.5 miles to the east of Sundridge, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail, and we tell you if the bundle exceeds what sealant covers.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Record which product was used where
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
