Fire stopping in Townhill Park, done properly
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Most enquiries involve penetration schedules that need working through and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and linear gaps at wall heads. Whoever orders the work in Townhill Park, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Townhill Park that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Around those penetrations, fire-rated sealant is installed if specified, with depth, backing and gap all as tested.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest so we know it sits within the tested range, and any that don’t are flagged.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a site in Townhill Park, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- 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
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Quoting for work in Townhill Park
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Your programme or deadline
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Common questions from Townhill Park clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Southampton?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is Townhill Park too far out for you?
No. Places such as Townhill Park are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements and point out anything needing another product.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is the BS 476 change in 2029 relevant to fire stopping?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B in England drops its references to BS 476 classes, with transitional arrangements set by the Government. After that, the European classification under BS EN 13501-2 is the route. Your designer will choose products with the right evidence.
Signs you need fire stopping in Townhill Park
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
For a site team at a college like Itchen College (1.6 miles south of Townhill Park), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Penetration seals near Townhill Park
At about 67 miles from central London, Townhill Park is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal. For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
For a hospital such as Moorgreen Hospital, which lies east of Townhill Park, penetration sealing is normally phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. Tenant changes at parks like Itchen Business Park, 1.1 miles to the west of Townhill Park, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal.

Owners, agents and contractors
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
