Fire rated sealant in Great Kimble, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Work in a small place like Great Kimble is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Great Kimble, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

Fire rated sealant around Great Kimble
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Great Kimble Church of England School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Little Kimble station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Great Kimble
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
