About our fire rated sealant in Kingswood
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Work in a small place like Kingswood is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Kingswood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Kingswood?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you work in occupied 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.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kingswood
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Schools such as Grendon Underwood Combined School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant in Kingswood: 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kingswood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
