Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tubney
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Work in a small place like Tubney is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common questions in Tubney
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tubney?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tubney is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Tubney?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Tubney, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Tubney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Tubney
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of St Lawrence are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Tubney
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant around Tubney
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.
Managing a site like Abingdon Preparatory School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
