How we handle fire rated sealant in Weddington
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a small place like Weddington is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we are called out for in Weddington
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Weddington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Commercial buildings in Weddington
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common questions in Weddington
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Weddington within the area you cover?
Yes, Weddington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
