What fire rated sealant looks like in Cripp's Corner
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Marks Staplecross are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Robertsbridge station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cripp's Corner
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Staplecross Methodist Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
