Commercial buildings in Fant
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Jubilee Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

About our fire rated sealant in Fant
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Fant, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Fant?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Fant, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Fant
Do you cover Fant for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fant is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Farleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Fant, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
