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.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Fire rated sealant in South Nutfield
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near South Nutfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like South Nutfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

FAQs for South Nutfield

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
