Fire rated sealant in Stelling Minnis: local notes
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 Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Stelling Minnis
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a village or hamlet like Stelling Minnis, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Stelling Minnis: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Stelling Minnis?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stelling Minnis is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Stelling Minnis?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Stelling Minnis
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
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 drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Stelling Minnis
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Stelling Minnis needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
