Fire rated sealant around Gundleton
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Perins School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Gundleton
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Gundleton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Gundleton
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gundleton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Gundleton: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Gundleton?
All our work, in Gundleton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Gundleton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. 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. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Gundleton, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Gundleton
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
