Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Bush
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Lower Bush, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Fire rated sealant in Lower Bush
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open gaps behind door architraves, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Lower Bush, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lower Bush
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you let a flat or house near Cuxton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Commercial buildings in Lower Bush
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.
Managing a site like Cuxton Community Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
