About our fire rated sealant in Rusper
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
For a small place like Rusper, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Fire rated sealant around Rusper
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.
Managing a site like Rusper Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary Magdalene church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Rusper needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice

More services for Rusper
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
When to call us in Rusper
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Letting a property close to Faygate station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Rusper, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
