What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Wye
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations alike.
For a small place like Wye, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we’re called out for in Wye
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Gregory and Saint Martin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include

- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee

Fire rated sealant in Wye: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Wye station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Wye

- Flats & HMOs

- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
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.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Wye, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
