How we handle fire rated sealant in Key's Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Key's Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we are called out for in Key's Green
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Frant station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Commercial buildings in Key's Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Chapel Of Ease Of St Luke, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Key's Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
