Fire rated sealant in Loose
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and open gaps behind door architraves.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Loose, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Fire rated sealant in Loose: local notes
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Loose Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Loose, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Loose, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own

Loose questions
Will you come out to Loose?
Yes. Loose is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
