About our fire rated sealant in Cornish Hall End
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Cornish Hall 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 there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a small place like Cornish Hall End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Fire rated sealant around Cornish Hall End
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
In and around Cornish Hall End, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Cornish Hall End?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as St John the Evangelist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do.

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
