Fire rated sealant in Wartling
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Wartling, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

When to call us in Wartling
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Wartling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.

Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wartling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
