Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What we are called out for in Cowes
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Cowes Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cowes?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
