Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in The Holt
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like The Holt is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like The Holt needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like The Holt, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in The Holt
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. 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:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Schools such as Robert Piggott CofE Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
