- Linear gaps at the head of walls

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
About our fire rated sealant in Colliers Green
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Colliers Green, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Colliers Green: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Colliers Green?
Yes, Colliers Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Marden station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Colliers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Fire rated sealant in Colliers Green: local notes
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 Marden station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
