Fire stopping in West Green, done properly
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and what we are called in for most is fire sealant pulled out of the opening and non-fire-rated filler around services. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in West Green it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Fire-rated sealing in a place like West Green is normally a single building at a time. With the specification and photos of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Fire-rated sealing for West Green buildings
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of West Green. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. 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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail.
For a hospital such as Crawley Hospital, 0.5 miles to the south-west of West Green, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. Older community buildings such as Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.

Nearby towns on our patch include Horsham (7 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (10 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (12 miles south), East Grinstead (8 miles east), Billingshurst (13 miles south-west) and Roffey (6 miles south-west).

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Work in places the size of West Green is planned as a single visit where we can. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions about West Green
Can you work on a hospital site such as Crawley Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is West Green too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Common problems we fix in West Green
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
Offices at parks like Crompton Fields Business Park, 0.5 miles north-east of West Green, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
