Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a small place like Littleworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Why Littleworth clients choose us
- Fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

About our fire rated sealant in Littleworth
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Littleworth, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Littleworth
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wheatley Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Commercial buildings in Littleworth
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Granary Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Littleworth
Can you do fire rated sealant in Littleworth?
Yes, Littleworth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Littleworth?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Littleworth, 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces 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 files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
