Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail, so we check each one.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
About our fire stopping in Tokers Green
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. If you have seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and penetration schedules that need working through, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Tokers Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Tokers Green 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: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Compartment walls and floors in Tokers Green
Central London is about 39 miles from Tokers Green. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds 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. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
Colleges such as The Chiltern College, 1.7 miles south-east of Tokers Green, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product. Older community buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Campus buildings at universities such as University of Reading, 3.1 miles east of Tokers Green, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tokers Green are typically planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- 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.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open

Leave it or put it right?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Older rural buildings around Tokers Green move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
