How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Rush Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Rush Green, 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.

Fire rated sealant around Rush Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Letting a property close to Denham Golf Club station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Francis are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Denham Village School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Rush Green, 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
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.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Rush Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
