Fire rated sealant in Brick End, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Brick End, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brick End as everywhere else we work.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Brick End
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Brick End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
