An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.

Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant in Setley, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Setley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Setley and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs 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 doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Setley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Fire rated sealant around Setley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Setley. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
