When to call us in Kaimend
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Around Kaimend, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
