Fire rated sealant in Picket Twenty
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, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Picket Twenty, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Picket Twenty
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Community buildings like United Reformed Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
