Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
About our fire rated sealant in Seaton
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We are often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Seaton, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Seaton?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Seaton
Do you work in hotels near Seaton?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Seaton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Seaton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
