How we handle fire rated sealant in Three Oaks
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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 filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Three Oaks, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Three Oaks
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Three Oaks
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buckswood School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before you book anyone

- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Why act early in Three Oaks
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Three Oaks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Three Oaks
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Three Oaks, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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 let a flat or house near Three Oaks station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Laurence's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
