Fire rated sealant around Bishop's Sutton
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bishop's Sutton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Perins School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
What we are called out for in Bishop's Sutton
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint

Questions from Bishop's Sutton
Do you cover smaller places like Bishop's Sutton?
Yes. Bishop's Sutton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bishop's Sutton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bishop's Sutton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
