Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Eight Ash Green
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has

Other services in Eight Ash Green
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
