What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Ringshall, 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.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Ringshall
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Ringshall, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ringshall
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Tring station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Ringshall
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ringshall can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
