Why it’s worth doing now in Wecock Farm
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

How we handle fire stopping in Wecock Farm
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you are dealing with openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Wecock Farm, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Wecock Farm can mix old and new construction, so it’s worth confirming the wall or floor type before choosing the seal. The right product depends on the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Wecock Farm
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Record which product was used where
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job compared with dozens found at once.

FAQs: Wecock Farm
Will you take on work at estates like Parklands Business Park, close to Wecock Farm?
Yes, sites like Parklands Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Wecock Farm. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Havant War Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Our work covers Greater London, the South East and every Scottish council area. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, with proprietary products tested for the end use.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements and point out anything needing another product.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a job in Wecock Farm, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. You’ll then get a fixed price for the work.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Office fit-outs on sites such as Parklands Business Park (1.6 miles west of Wecock Farm) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.
