How we handle fire rated sealant in Holton St Mary
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Holton St Mary, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Holton St Mary, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What fire rated sealant looks like in Holton St Mary
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. 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 Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Bergholt High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
When to call us in Holton St Mary
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For landlords with property near Manningtree station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Holton St Mary, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Holton St Mary, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
