How we handle fire rated sealant in Draycott
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Somewhere as small as Draycott, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Draycott, the journey is planned in advance: 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 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 gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Draycott
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For buildings such as Church of St Helen, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why act early in Draycott
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Draycott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
- Fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
