About our fire rated sealant in Frinsted
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Somewhere as small as Frinsted, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Frinsted
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Frinsted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Workplaces and buildings in Frinsted
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Schools such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like St Giles are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Frinsted?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Letting a property close to Harrietsham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
