How we handle fire rated sealant in Clatterford End
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open gaps behind door architraves.
Somewhere as small as Clatterford End, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Clatterford End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.

What else we do in Clatterford End
What fire rated sealant looks like in Clatterford End
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like The Ongar Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
