Fire rated sealant in Fairbourne Heath, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Fairbourne Heath, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Fairbourne Heath as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take 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. Somewhere as small as Fairbourne Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Fire rated sealant around Fairbourne Heath
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.
Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Fairbourne Heath
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

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.
