About our fire rated sealant in Bedham
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We are often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Bedham is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

When to call us in Bedham
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 round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Bedham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bedham
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bedham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
