Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.

How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Jarvis Brook?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Schools such as Jarvis Brook Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
