About our fire rated sealant in Church Hanborough
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Church Hanborough, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Church Hanborough?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Hanborough station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.

Related advice
Why act early in Church Hanborough
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Older cottages and farmhouses around Church Hanborough can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why Church Hanborough clients choose us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Church Hanborough
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
