How we handle fire stopping in Sutton at Hone
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. Most enquiries involve fire sealant pulled out of the opening and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Sutton at Hone tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a smaller site near Sutton at Hone, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton at Hone
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 Sutton at Hone, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety

What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
What affects the price in Sutton at Hone
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
When to call us in Sutton at Hone
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
Campus buildings at universities such as University of Greenwich, 2.6 miles to the north-east of Sutton at Hone, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.
