About our fire rated sealant in Sandwich Bay Estate
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, and we can record what went where. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Somewhere as small as Sandwich Bay Estate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
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.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Sandwich Bay Estate needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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 files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
