Rew Street Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Rew Street, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Common problems we fix in Rew Street
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as All Saints' Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Rew Street
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Rew Street, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rew Street
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Rew Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Rew Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Fire rated sealant in Rew Street: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rew Street, 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northwood Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
