Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Stratford St Mary
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its 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. Managing a site like Stratford St Mary Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we’re called out for in Stratford St Mary
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you let a flat or house near Manningtree station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Stratford St Mary, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
