About our fire rated sealant in Cooling
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For a small place like Cooling, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Cooling as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Cooling
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

What affects the quote in Cooling
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Cooling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Workplaces and buildings in Cooling
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Cooling, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
Rented homes near Higham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St James' Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface

Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
