Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in York Town
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like York Town have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
York Town questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in York Town?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and York Town is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Camberley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around York Town, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Fire rated sealant around York Town
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael York Town, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Camberley Primary and Nursery School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Camberley station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a job in York Town, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
