Why can we not simply use expanding foam from a hardware store?

Standard retail foams lack fire test evidence for structural openings. Batt and mastic systems require tested details matching the specific wall construction, cable bundles, or pipe types, because generic fillers melt or burn through rapidly when exposed to high heat.

Why does one penetration seal cost considerably more than another similar one?

Costs vary mainly because of accessibility and penetration density. Working around tight cable trays or high ceilings demands specialized access equipment and extra labor, whereas sealing a straightforward single pipe through an easily reached drywall aperture takes significantly less time and material.

How should our site team get areas ready before your installers turn up?

Trades must complete their service runs first, because running cables after seals are set breaks the seal. The customer needs to ensure clear physical access to both sides of the compartment barrier, clear out construction debris, and verify that surrounding substrates are dry and dust-free.

Does someone walk the site with us once sealing finishes?

Installers carry out a joint walk-through to review all treated locations against the initial plan. Any areas disturbed by follow-on trades get noted for remedial sealing, and sign-off records confirm the work matches the manufacturer test scope across the Swindon property.
