Fire rated sealant in Stone Corner

How we handle fire rated sealant in Stone Corner

A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.

For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stone Corner, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
  • Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
  • Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Door frames
  • Flats & HMOs
  • Linear gaps
  • Pipe & cable gaps
  • Plasterboard & masonry
  • Service penetrations

Leave it or put it right?

Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Stone Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Why us?

  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
  • Every job guaranteed for a year
  • Over 20 years’ experience

Different surfaces, different methods

Door frames

Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.

Service penetrations

A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.

Fire rated sealant in Stone Corner: 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.

Around Stone Corner, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When to call us in Stone Corner

Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Open holes round services passing through fire walls
  • Holes left by a change of layout
  • Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
  • Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey

For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The amount of work
  • Working hours on commercial sites

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What to tell us for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Stone Corner, the journey is planned in advance: 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.

  1. First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
  2. Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
  4. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
  5. We record the locations and products used for your records.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
  • Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
  • Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
  • Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks

Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.

When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
