- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Commercial buildings in Stanford in the Vale
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, 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.
For buildings such as Church of St Denys, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Stanford in the Vale, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?

Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
When to call us in Stanford in the Vale
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
