What fire rated sealant looks like in Breach
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
In and around Breach, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Fire rated sealant in Breach
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Breach, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Breach, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Breach, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Breach
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Letting a property close to Snowdown station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
