Fire rated sealant in Penny Pot
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Penny Pot, 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 will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Penny Pot
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Managing a site like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Penny Pot
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Letting a property close to Brookwood station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
