Fire rated sealant in Martin, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with open gaps behind door architraves and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Martin, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Service penetrations

When to call us in Martin
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as Church of St Augustine, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant around Martin
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Martin, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
Letting a property close to Martin Mill station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Langdon Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Martin
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Martin, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
