Fire Rated Sealant in Worth Abbey
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Worth Abbey, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Worth Abbey
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Worth Abbey, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Fire rated sealant around Worth Abbey
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Abbey Church of Our Lady Help of Christians, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oriel High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What happens if it’s left?
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 Worth Abbey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
