Advice
Fire rated sealant in Woolstone, done properly
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant.

Around a place like Woolstone, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

Fire rated sealant in Woolstone: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Woolstone. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
Schools such as Shepherdswell Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common problems we fix in Woolstone
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Milton Keynes Central station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.

Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Homes in smaller places like Woolstone can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
