Fire rated sealant in Hoe, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and holes left by a change of layout, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hoe, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Hoe, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hoe
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Commercial buildings in Hoe
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
When to call us in Hoe
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like Church of St Mark are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
