The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. 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. For a village or hamlet like Little Totham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Totham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Fully insured
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 12-month guarantee on every job

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Little Totham?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Commercial buildings in Little Totham

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.
