Fire stopping for businesses in Wroxton
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Wroxton
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. The enquiries we see most involve seals that don’t match their tested detail and openings left by services added after handover, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Wroxton, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a smaller site near Wroxton, we plan to do all the penetrations in one go, so send the specification and photographs first. Design and sign-off belong to the designer or building control; we install what’s specified.
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.

Your questions answered
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Wroxton?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part doesn’t change: the specified product, to its tested detail.
Is Wroxton too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.

What affects the price in Wroxton
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The product specified
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any specification or named product
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
How a job runs
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 usually taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For work around Wroxton, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Fire-rated sealing for Wroxton buildings
Central London is about 68 miles from Wroxton. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls; the gaps need the specified seal. Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. References to the older BS 476 classes are being removed from it from 2 September 2029, after which the European classification, BS EN 13501-2, is the route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Beaumont Industrial Estate (to the east of Wroxton) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Hotels like Wroxton House Hotel (to the east of Wroxton) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. At a college such as Wroxton College, under half a mile to the south-east of Wroxton, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice.

Why act early in Wroxton
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Around Wroxton, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest against the detail’s limits.
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we’ll tell you what the detail says instead.
