Fire rated sealant in Darby Green: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St Barnabas Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Sandhurst station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Darby Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Darby Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Darby Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Darby Green
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What we are called out for in Darby Green
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like Potley Hill Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
