Fire rated sealant in Camulodunum
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and open gaps behind door architraves, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Camulodunum, commercial work can mean offices, shops, schools, surgeries or small business units. All of them have washroom and kitchen joints, and many have fire-rated joints around pipes and cables.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What else we do in Camulodunum
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Camulodunum, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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 for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Colchester Town station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
