Fire rated sealant in Sheldwich Lees, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Sheldwich Lees, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Sheldwich Lees and everywhere else we cover.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Sheldwich Lees, 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why act early in Sheldwich Lees
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Sheldwich Lees, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Commercial buildings in Sheldwich Lees
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Sheldwich Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
