Fire rated sealant in Blue Town
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. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a smaller place like Blue Town, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Blue Town
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Blue Town, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Sheerness-On-Sea station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Parish Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Blue Town
Is Blue Town within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Sheerness-On-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that is 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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What we’re called out for in Blue Town
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Managing a site like St Edward's Catholic Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
