- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall

How we handle fire rated sealant in Beacon Hill
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Beacon Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Beacon Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Beacon Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
