What sealant do you use?

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bury's Bank
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Bury's Bank, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
