Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Myrke
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and open joints along the top of partitions, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Myrke, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Fire rated sealant in Myrke: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Myrke 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Laurence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Long Close School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Slough station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Myrke
Is Myrke within the area you cover?
Yes. Myrke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Myrke?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Why it’s worth doing now in Myrke
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Myrke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Every job guaranteed for a year

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
