Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Temple
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance on sites in Temple. If you’re dealing with penetration schedules that need working through and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Temple? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
A job near Temple is normally planned around one visit, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Temple as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
When to call us in Temple
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
Hotels such as Hurley House Hotel (1.2 miles south of Temple) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.
What to look for in a quote
- Their public liability cover
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- The named product and why it was chosen
Commercial clients in Temple
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Temple: questions and answers
Is Temple too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Temple?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Compartment walls and floors in Temple
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Central London is about 30 miles from Temple. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
For a building at a site such as Rashleighs Business Centre, which lies south-east of Temple, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. In a building such as Church of All Saints, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. If others near Temple need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. 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. Halls, stores and units around places like Temple may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
