Fire Rated Sealant in Hulcote
Fire rated sealant in Hulcote from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Hulcote, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and holes left by a change of layout.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Hulcote, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hulcote
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Hulcote, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant around Hulcote
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Ridgmont station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
