Holton Hill Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Holton Hill, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
How we handle fire rated sealant in Holton Hill
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Holton Hill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Holton Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Fire rated sealant around Holton Hill
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Burwash CofE School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
