Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Fire stopping in Tingewick, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and penetration schedules that need working through, on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tingewick, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Tingewick often combine new partitions with old walls. A penetration seal only performs as tested if product, substrate, service, gap and depth all match the detail.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

What else we do in Tingewick
When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Tingewick
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
What happens if it’s left?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Tingewick, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Where services cross fire walls in Tingewick
Central London is about 53 miles from Tingewick. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a building such as Church of St Mary Magdalen, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. For a school such as Royal Latin School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. On estates like Tingewick Road Industrial Estate, 2 miles to the east of Tingewick, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.

FAQs: Tingewick
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Tingewick?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Is Tingewick off your patch?
Not at all. Tingewick is within our area. 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.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Rural sites near Tingewick may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
