About our fire stopping in Widmore
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are non-fire-rated filler around services and snag lists that include open service penetrations. Searching for sealant specialists in Widmore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In London, higher-risk residential buildings under the Building Safety Act bring extra scrutiny of fire-stopping records. We install what the designer or fire engineer has specified, and if you need records of the work, tell us and we will confirm with the quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
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: Widmore
Do you take on jobs in Widmore where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Sloane Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you seal any opening with fire-rated sealant?
No. Sealant is the right product only where the tested detail says so. Large openings, many plastic pipes and some ducts need collars, wraps, batts or boards.
Will you sign off the seals for us?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. Our part is fitting the specified product to its tested detail.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Widmore
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Widmore. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
What else we do in Widmore
Compartment walls and floors in Widmore
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. There are 21 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Widmore. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Sloane Hospital (2.3 miles west of Widmore) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. Tenant changes at centres like The Mall (to the west of Widmore) often mean new services through walls between units. Offices at parks like Chartwell Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the west of Widmore, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.

How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Widmore can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Why deal with it now?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is normally a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Failed sealant in a building in Widmore can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, though larger ones typically call for a collar or wrap. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
