How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Tey
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and open joints along the top of partitions.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Little Tey, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Fire rated sealant around Little Tey
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Marks Tey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Honywood Community Science School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Little Tey
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
