How we handle fire stopping in Wonersh
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. We work on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wonersh tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a smaller site near Wonersh, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, with the specification and photographs sent in advance. We install to the specification and the manufacturer’s guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer and building control.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Wonersh can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged, and report them promptly.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open instead of being left for someone else.
Common questions from Wonersh clients
How does the removal of BS 476 from Approved Document B affect fire-rated sealing in Wonersh?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Whichever applies, we install the specified product to its tested detail; the specification is for the designer to set.
Is Wonersh too far out for you?
No. Places such as Wonersh are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.

Wonersh lies roughly 28 miles out from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls; the gaps need the specified seal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wonersh
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. Around Wonersh, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.

- CSCS-carded applicators
- One number for every site we cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
Common problems we fix in Wonersh
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
Tenant changes at parks like Broadford Business Park, 1.6 miles north-west of Wonersh, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
