Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
About our fire rated sealant in Devil's Den

We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right.

What else we do in Devil's Den
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Devil's Den?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a small place like Devil's Den, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
