Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in East End
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near East End, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like East End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in East End
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant in East End: 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, 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.
Letting a property close to Combe station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Combe CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like East End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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 faces 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 files.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.

Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
