Fire rated sealant in Lynsted
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Lynsted, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common problems we fix in Lynsted
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Lynsted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
