Signs you need fire rated sealant in Long Hanborough
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What else we do in Long Hanborough
Workplaces and buildings in Long Hanborough
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Combe station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What affects the quote in Long Hanborough

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Long Hanborough, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.

- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
