Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant around Stanswood
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Stanswood, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
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 isn’t the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Stanswood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
