About our fire rated sealant in Prittlewell
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. Common call-outs are for joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Prittlewell, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface

Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit in Prittlewell needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
