- Which sealant suits the joint

Fire rated sealant in Sturry
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Sturry. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Sturry usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Fire rated sealant in Sturry: 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.
Managing a site like Sturry Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Nicholas' Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish.

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in Sturry
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
