How we handle fire rated sealant in Hale Common
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hale Common, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hale Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Common problems we fix in Hale Common
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hale Common
Is Hale Common in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hale Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Hale Common?
Yes, Hale Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
