Why act early in Upper Eddington

Advice
Common problems we fix in Upper Eddington
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hungerford Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
