Fire stopping in Tye: the local picture
In England, Approved Document B covers fire stopping of 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. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Tye. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
For a school such as Mill Rythe Junior School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. In a building such as Church of St Peter, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. For an estates team at a campus like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus, 3.9 miles west of Tye, summer M&E works are typically followed by a round of penetration sealing.
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO11, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, Tye among them.
Commercial sites across PO11 are covered for service penetrations. Among the streets we cover are Gutner Lane and Copse Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Just outside Tye, we also work in North Hayling (1 mile north), Northney (1 mile north), Stoke (1 mile west), Thorney Island (1 mile north-east) and Warblington (2 miles north). Further afield, our area takes in Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (7 miles north), Waterlooville (6 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Near you in Tye
We work on buildings around The Hayling College, Eames Farm and The Maypole pub. The closest station to Tye is Emsworth station, roughly 2.6 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.9 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (2.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Hayling Billy.
How we handle fire stopping in Tye
Facilities managers in Tye often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. Site teams most often ask us about unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Searching for sealant specialists in Tye? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a smaller site near Tye, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photos sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Jobs in and around smaller places like Tye are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

What affects the price in Tye
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What happens if it’s left?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. For buildings around smaller places like Tye, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Tye
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Your questions answered
What happens to BS 476 references for fire stopping in Tye?
From 2 September 2029, Approved Document B drops its BS 476 references in favour of BS EN 13501-2 classification, with transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Portsmouth - Langstone Campus for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
