Fire rated sealant around Blue Bell Hill
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.
Community buildings like St Alban's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tunbury Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Snodland station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Why act early in Blue Bell Hill
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Blue Bell Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
