Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tilty
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and people most often call us about open holes round services passing through fire walls and linear gaps at the head of walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Tilty, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Surface by surface
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.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Tilty, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tilty
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common problems we fix in Tilty
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
