Tyburn: questions and answers
Is Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., near Tyburn, within your area?
Yes, sites like Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre. Are within our area, along with the rest of Tyburn. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like BPP University?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you fire stop behind the services contractors?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
How we handle fire stopping in Tyburn
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. We work on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old intumescent sealant that has split away and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit. Most enquiries from Tyburn start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
London has many occupied offices, blocks and mixed-use buildings where services are added and rerouted all the time. Where the specification names fire-rated sealant, it goes in exactly as the manufacturer’s test evidence shows for that wall or floor.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Surface by 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.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail and we confirm each before sealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads

Leave it or put it right?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach and each detail can be checked as we go. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Tyburn takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Tyburn
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Tyburn can form part of a wider programme.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
Compartments and services around Tyburn
Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. 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. We install whatever has been specified, to the product’s tested detail. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Tyburn. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
For a unit at a site such as Brompton Cross District Shopping Centre., 1.3 miles south of Tyburn, any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail. At a university such as BPP University (less than half a mile west of Tyburn), labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like St Mary's Hospital (0.5 miles north-west of Tyburn) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

Our process
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 anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Tyburn can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- 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
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
