Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in East Street
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and open gaps behind door architraves.
For a small place like East Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like East Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Common problems we fix in East Street
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in East Street
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We’re fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
