Fire rated sealant in Far Thorpe Green
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Far Thorpe Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
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.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually 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. Somewhere as small as Far Thorpe Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Far Thorpe Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rolph CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Far Thorpe Green: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Far Thorpe Green, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Weeley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common questions in Far Thorpe Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Weeley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Far Thorpe Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Far Thorpe Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Far Thorpe Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
