Fire Rated Sealant in Doleham
We cover Doleham for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Fire rated sealant in Doleham, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Work in a small place like Doleham is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Doleham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Doleham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Doleham
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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St George, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Doleham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Doleham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Doleham?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Doleham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Doleham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Doleham?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
