Fire rated sealant in Cuxton: local notes
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Cuxton Community Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Cuxton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cuxton
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Cuxton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
