About our fire rated sealant in Wendover
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Wendover, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
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 generally a straightforward job.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Wendover?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
