Fire rated sealant in Stocking Pelham, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Stocking Pelham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.

Fire rated sealant in Stocking Pelham: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Stocking Pelham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal.

Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
