Fire rated sealant in Lee Chapel, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Lee Chapel generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Fire rated sealant around Lee Chapel
Basildon, which Lee Chapel is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Basildon was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so there are offices, units and workplaces not far from home. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like St Anne Line Catholic Junior School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Martin of Tours, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Basildon station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. In a smaller place like Lee Chapel, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed 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 records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
