Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Canney can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Great Canney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Fire rated sealant around Great Canney
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near North Fambridge station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When to call us in Great Canney
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Schools such as Cold Norton Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
