Fire rated sealant for Firgo homes and businesses

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Firgo

Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.

Somewhere as small as Firgo, 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.

Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Firgo

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • The rough size of the job
  • Photos by email, if that is easy

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Why deal with it now?

Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Firgo can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why book with us

  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • 12-month guarantee on every job
  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • Fully insured

The process

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Firgo, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
  2. Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
  4. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
  5. We record the locations and products used for your records.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Workplaces and buildings in Firgo

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.

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods

Flats and HMOs

Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.

Service penetrations

Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
  • Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
  • Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
  • Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured

Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.

Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Firgo?

Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Fire seals that have cracked with movement
  • Holes left by a change of layout
  • Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
  • Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers

If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
