Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Wigmore
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Wigmore, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Wigmore?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Rainham (Kent) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Wigmore
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Wigmore, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St Paul's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Park Wood Infant School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Wigmore
Can you do fire rated sealant in Wigmore?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wigmore is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wigmore
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Homes in smaller places like Wigmore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and our reviews.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Wigmore is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
