Steeple Claydon Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Steeple Claydon? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Steeple Claydon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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 for your records.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Fire rated sealant in Steeple Claydon, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Steeple Claydon, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Steeple Claydon
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Schools such as Steeple Claydon School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Comparing quotes
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Steeple Claydon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
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.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Common questions in Steeple Claydon
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Steeple Claydon?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Steeple Claydon within the area you cover?
Yes. Steeple Claydon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.

Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Commercial buildings in Steeple Claydon
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
