Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pootings
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Work in a small place like Pootings is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
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.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Pootings, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Pootings
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Four Elms Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pootings, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
