About our fire rated sealant in Lower Sheering
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Lower Sheering, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Lower Sheering, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Lower Sheering
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of Great St Mary's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fawbert and Barnard Infants' School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Sheering, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
