Fire rated sealant in Craig's End
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Craig's End, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Craig's End: local notes

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Craig's End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

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
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
