Fire stopping in Temple Mills, done properly
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance. If you are dealing with builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and penetration schedules that need working through, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Temple Mills, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. Fire-rated sealant goes in where it’s the specified item; where a collar, wrap or batt is called for instead, we flag it.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Common questions from Temple Mills clients
Do you cover business parks and estates near Temple Mills, such as Leyton Mills Retail Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Temple Mills, Leyton Mills Retail Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Homerton University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. Our credentials are CHAS accreditation, Constructionline membership and CSCS-carded applicators, and we are fully insured. If your contract requires third-party installer certification, we’re not the right fit for that package.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Is Temple Mills in your area?
Yes. Sites across Temple Mills are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you seal openings left by new services?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. New services after M&E works often breach existing seals, and we reseal them to the specified detail.

Compartment walls and floors in Temple Mills
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of openings and penetrations. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. Temple Mills has 36 care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like International College of Musical Theatre, 0.6 miles south-west of Temple Mills, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. At a healthcare site like Homerton University Hospital, 1.4 miles to the west of Temple Mills, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Residences at universities like Loughborough University London, less than half a mile to the west of Temple Mills, have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows

What else we do in Temple Mills
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
