Do you need fire rated sealant in Point Clear?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

About our fire rated sealant in Point Clear
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Point Clear, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Point Clear, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why act early in Point Clear
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Point Clear, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Point Clear, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, 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.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Point Clear can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
