FAQs for Rockford
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Rockford?
All our work, in Rockford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Rockford for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rockford is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Rockford
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 the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For a small place like Rockford, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When to call us in Rockford
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Martins, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Why act early in Rockford
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rockford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Rockford
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Poulner Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
