Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.

There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is BS 476 being phased out?
In England, references to the older BS 476 national classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029. The European route, BS EN 13501-2, then applies. Your designer will choose products with the right evidence.
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail, so we check each one.
Linear joints
Linear joints run along the head of a wall, at a slab edge or between two fire-resisting elements. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Rural sites near Swaile's Green may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Why it’s worth doing now in Swaile's Green
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. For buildings around smaller places like Swaile's Green, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Compartment walls and floors in Swaile's Green
Swaile's Green lies roughly 46 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, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail.
On a hospital site such as Conquest Hospital, 5.4 miles to the south of Swaile's Green, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. In a building such as St Marks Staplecross, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Offices at parks like Vinehall Business Centre (1.1 miles west of Swaile's Green) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
