Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in The Frenches
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Work in a small place like The Frenches is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Why act early in The Frenches
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like The Frenches, 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’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we’re called out for in The Frenches
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
