Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ravenstone
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Ravenstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Ravenstone
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Ravenstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you cover smaller places like Ravenstone?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is fire rated sealant in Ravenstone guaranteed?

Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.

Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
