About our fire rated sealant in Newchurch
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and holes left by a change of layout, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Newchurch, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
When to call us in Newchurch
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as All Saints' Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen

Questions from Newchurch
I let a flat near Sandown station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Newchurch?
Yes, Newchurch is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Newchurch, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Letting agents and landlords in Newchurch can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Fire rated sealant in Newchurch: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Newchurch, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newchurch Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
