Fire Rated Sealant in Friar's Hill

- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
How we handle fire rated sealant in Friar's Hill
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Friar's Hill, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- 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
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Friar's Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Fire rated sealant around Friar's Hill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Friar's Hill, 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. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Laurence's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Three Oaks station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a building such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
