How we handle fire rated sealant in Kingston Bagpuize
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you are dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Kingston Bagpuize normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. For a job in Kingston Bagpuize, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston Bagpuize
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Kingston Bagpuize can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we are called out for in Kingston Bagpuize
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Blandy Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How hidden problems are handled
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Homes in smaller places like Kingston Bagpuize can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?

What else we do in Kingston Bagpuize
What fire rated sealant looks like in Kingston Bagpuize
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
