How we handle fire stopping in Yeading
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. 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. The enquiries we see most involve old intumescent sealant that has split away and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, on cable penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Whoever orders the work in Yeading, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
After a fit-out or new cabling in a London building, risers and ceiling voids are where open service gaps tend to be found. Fire-rated sealant goes in where it’s the specified item; where a collar, wrap or batt is called for instead, we flag it.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Openings above suspended ceilings are easy to miss. We follow your schedule area by area.
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do, and the detail may call for board patching or another product.
Common problems we fix in Yeading
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Hidden openings found during inspections
Offices at parks like Adrienne Business Centre (to the east of Yeading) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Proof of insurance
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. In Yeading, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

FAQs: Yeading
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Yeading?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ealing Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Yeading can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations

Other services in Yeading
Compartments and services around Yeading
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. With tenants changing and fit-outs following, London buildings see service routes altered again and again. We seal to the specification and the product’s tested detail, working within the building’s permits.
For a building such as St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Uxbridge College (to the south-west of Yeading) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
