Fire rated sealant in Pig Street, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a village or hamlet like Pig Street, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Around Pig Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall

Fire rated sealant in Pig Street: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Pig Street, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Michael, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rolph CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Pig Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Pig Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Pig Street?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Pig Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
