Commercial clients in Westfield
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Fire stopping in Westfield
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. Most enquiries involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Westfield? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places like Westfield, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. Any service penetration through those walls should be closed with the specified product, set out as its test evidence shows.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Halls, stores and units around places like Westfield may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Westfield
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:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
In a hotel such as Claverton Country House Hotel (1.3 miles west of Westfield), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Smaller jobs around Westfield can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- 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.

Getting the site ready

Compartments and services around Westfield
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. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. Westfield has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
In a school such as Westfield School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified. Office fit-outs on sites such as Wheel Farm Business Park, less than half a mile to the west of Westfield, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

Around Westfield

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
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.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
