Northington Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Northington on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Northington, done properly
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 work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Somewhere as small as Northington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Fire rated sealant in Northington: 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, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Northington
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Northington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
