About our fire rated sealant in Wissington
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you are dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wissington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Wissington questions
Is Wissington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wissington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bures station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
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 of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Wissington, access is generally 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.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we are called out for in Wissington
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 isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a building such as Nayland Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
Workplaces and buildings in Wissington
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary Wiston, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Bures station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Landmarks near Wissington

Well-known places in the area include Severalls Hospital (4 miles south-east) and Mount Bures (3.3 miles west). Not far away are Arger Fen.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Why act early in Wissington
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. 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. Around Wissington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
