About our fire rated sealant in Artington
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Artington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What else we do in Artington
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Artington
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why it’s worth doing now in Artington
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Artington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Fire rated sealant around Artington
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Artington. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Shalford station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Shalford Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
