How we handle fire rated sealant in Privett
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Privett, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Privett, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Privett
Surface by surface
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.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Privett can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we are called out for in Privett
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
