Fire stopping for Upper Eashing sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Upper Eashing
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. Most enquiries involve fire sealant pulled out of the opening and expanding foam used as fire stopping, across service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Upper Eashing tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Upper Eashing, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Questions about Upper Eashing
Is a hospital such as Milford Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Upper Eashing, such as Godalming Business Centre?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Upper Eashing, Godalming Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Upper Eashing may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Where services cross fire walls in Upper Eashing
At about 32 miles from central London, Upper Eashing is within reach of the capital. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Upper Eashing has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Hotels such as The Kings Arms and Royal Hotel (1.4 miles east of Upper Eashing) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. For a building at a site such as Godalming Business Centre, which lies east of Upper Eashing, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. Campus buildings at universities such as University of Surrey - Manor Park Campus, 3.8 miles to the north of Upper Eashing, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
Why deal with it now?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable and avoids a much larger catch-up later. Older rural buildings around Upper Eashing move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
