How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Chelwood Gate
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.

Commercial buildings in Chelwood Gate
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Chelwood Gate Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Do you need fire rated sealant in Chelwood Gate?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
In and around Chelwood Gate, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chelwood Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
