Fire rated sealant in Irons Bottom
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Irons Bottom, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Irons Bottom: local notes
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.
For landlords with property near Salfords station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Burys Court School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Irons Bottom, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Irons Bottom, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Irons Bottom
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Emmanuel Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
