About our fire stopping in Thundridge
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve penetration schedules that need working through and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads. For commercial sealant work in Thundridge, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Rural conversions around Thundridge can put new fire-resisting partitions inside older structures. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Thundridge as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Quoting for work in Thundridge
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Smaller jobs around Thundridge can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Agree which areas must stay open

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Thundridge
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
When to call us in Thundridge
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position and has to be removed.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
Hotels such as The Feathers Hotel (to the north of Thundridge) 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 your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
Common questions from Thundridge clients
Is Thundridge too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Thundridge Business Park, by Thundridge?
Yes. Our area takes in Thundridge and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Thundridge Business Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No. Deciding what is needed sits with the designer, fire engineer and building control. Our role is fitting the specified fire-rated sealant, following the maker’s tested details.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thundridge
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Thundridge, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
