About our fire rated sealant in Egerton Forstal
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Egerton Forstal, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Egerton Forstal as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Fire rated sealant in Egerton Forstal: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Pluckley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Egerton Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Egerton Forstal, access is generally 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
