Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hightown
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Hightown, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hightown as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Commercial buildings in Hightown
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hightown. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ringwood Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.

What else we do in Hightown
Why act early in Hightown
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hightown, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Hightown questions
Is Hightown in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hightown is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work in hotels near Hightown?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Hightown needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
