What fire rated sealant looks like in Charlwood

Around Charlwood, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Charlwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
When to call us in Charlwood
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Monkwood Mission Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
