Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Watch House Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and open joints along the top of partitions, across flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations.
For a small place like Watch House Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Watch House Green
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Cross, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
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.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Watch House Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
