Fire rated sealant in Bourne End
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Bourne End have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Bourne End is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When to call us in Bourne End
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mark, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
