Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Fickleshole
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Fickleshole, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Fickleshole as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Fickleshole
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Fickleshole
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.
Letting a property close to Woldingham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Leonard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
When to call us in Fickleshole
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Managing a site like Fairchildes Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Where are you based?

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
