About our fire rated sealant in Murston
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Murston, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When to call us in Murston
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sunny Bank Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Murston has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Murston
Landlords and letting agents in Murston can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Murston is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
