About our fire stopping in West Clandon
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. If you have seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and hidden openings found during inspections, we can help, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in West Clandon from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
A job near West Clandon is normally planned around one visit, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in West Clandon
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, 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.
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Record which product was used where
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way, or a new specification from the designer.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. Converted and older buildings near places like West Clandon tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Questions we are asked in West Clandon
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St. Luke’s Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you fire stop behind the services contractors?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see and we close them with the specified product.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested; installing to the detail is what carries that across to site.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it and point out anything needing another product.
Fire stopping in West Clandon: the local picture
West Clandon is about 24 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls. 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. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Campus buildings at universities such as University of Surrey - Stag Hill Campus (4.1 miles south-west of West Clandon) see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified. Hospital estates such as St. Luke’s Hospital, 3.3 miles south-west of West Clandon, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. In a school such as Clandon CofE Aided Primary School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.

Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
