Fairlee Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Fairlee on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Surface by surface
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.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Fire rated sealant in Fairlee
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Fairlee, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Common problems we fix in Fairlee
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Fairlee, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Commercial buildings in Fairlee
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Fairlee. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Medina College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Questions from Fairlee
Do you cover smaller places like Fairlee?
Yes, Fairlee is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Fairlee?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fairlee is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
