Fire rated sealant in Little Yeldham, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Little Yeldham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Little Yeldham and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a small place like Little Yeldham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

How long does fire rated sealant take?

Do you need fire rated sealant in Little Yeldham?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
In and around Little Yeldham, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Little Yeldham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
