Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Wigginton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Fire rated sealant in Wigginton, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Wigginton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Wigginton, 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Wigginton?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For buildings such as Church of Saint Giles, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
