Do you need fire rated sealant in Northiam?
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as Northiam Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
About our fire rated sealant in Northiam
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and open gaps behind door architraves, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Northiam, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northiam

Why act early in Northiam
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Northiam, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
