Fire Rated Sealant in Loxwood
Fire-stopping gaps in Loxwood need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Loxwood
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
Work in a small place like Loxwood is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

More services for Loxwood
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Loxwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Fire rated sealant around Loxwood
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loxwood Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
