FAQs: Temple Park
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Temple Park after a refit?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Temple Park?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
About our fire stopping in Temple Park
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. If you have non-fire-rated filler around services and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, we can help, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Temple Park, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Temple Park can mix old and new construction, so it’s worth confirming the wall or floor type before choosing the seal. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Where services cross fire walls in Temple Park
At about 30 miles from central London, Temple Park is within reach of the capital. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
For a hotel such as Fines Bayliwick Hotel, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Temple Park, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. For a site team at a college like Newbold College of Higher Education, 0.5 miles west of Temple Park, fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works.

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Park
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Small buildings around Temple Park suffer from failed joints as much as large ones. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.

General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Work in places the size of Temple Park is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Temple Park
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it and has to be removed.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
In a building such as St Andrew, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way, or a new specification from the designer.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
