Fire Rated Sealant in Sole Street
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Sole Street, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sole Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
About our fire rated sealant in Sole Street
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We’re often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Sole Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Sole Street
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cobham Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Sole Street?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as St Mary's Room, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
