About our fire rated sealant in Sweethaws
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Sweethaws, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
What we are called out for in Sweethaws
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Schools such as Beacon Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Sweethaws, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
