Fire rated sealant in Kingsash, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Kingsash, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Fire rated sealant in Kingsash: local notes
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wendover House School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Wendover station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Kingsash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Are you fully insured?

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Kingsash?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For buildings such as Old Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
