How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Tew
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Little Tew, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Little Tew
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Tew County Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What we’re called out for in Little Tew
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like Church of St John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
FAQs for Little Tew
Will you come out to Little Tew?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Little Tew for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Tew is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.

- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Little Tew, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
