How we handle fire rated sealant in Rowsham
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Somewhere as small as Rowsham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
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.

What else we do in Rowsham
Rowsham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Rowsham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rowsham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Rowsham
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a building such as Wingrave Church of England Combined School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the visit 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 we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Rowsham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
