Fire-rated sealant in Leigh, Kent
We cover Leigh for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Fire rated sealant in Leigh, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Leigh, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Leigh and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
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 usually a straightforward job.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Leigh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Leigh
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Leigh Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Leigh?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Letting a property close to Leigh (Kent) station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
