Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Weavers Down often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Weavers Down as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Weavers Down
Fire stopping around Weavers Down: what changes locally
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 Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. Either way, we install the specified product to its tested detail. Weavers Down is about 43 miles from central London. Office refits around the commuter belt bring new cabling through fire-resisting walls.
Schools such as Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. On estates like Passfield Industrial Estate, 1.7 miles to the north of Weavers Down, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Chase Hospital, 2.3 miles to the north-west of Weavers Down, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.

Your questions answered
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Weavers Down?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Is a smaller place like Weavers Down outside your area?
No. Places such as Weavers Down are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
What happens if it’s left?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. For buildings around smaller places like Weavers Down, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
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.

Surface by surface
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Weavers Down may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Flag any permit to work we will need
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
