About our fire rated sealant in Flexford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Flexford, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Flexford, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Flexford
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Wanborough station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Wyke Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flexford
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Flexford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
