Fire rated sealant in Kingsgate
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Kingsgate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingsgate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Kingsgate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
