Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
About our fire rated sealant in Barton
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and holes left by a change of layout, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Barton normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Barton
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Barton
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Barton. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Paul's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Barton

Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
When to call us in Barton
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like Barton Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Barton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
