Workplaces and buildings in Weeley Heath
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Weeley St Andrew's CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Weeley Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Weeley Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Weeley Heath?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Weeley Heath in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Weeley Heath is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Weeley Heath?
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 they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For landlords with property near Weeley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
