Fire rated sealant in Newington
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Newington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newington
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Newington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Newington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

What fire rated sealant looks like in Newington
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Around Newington, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Common problems we fix in Newington
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
