Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

When to call us in Framfield
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as St Thomas à Becket Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere like Framfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Framfield
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.
Schools such as Framfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Uckfield station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
