What is Fire-Rated Sealant?

Fire-rated sealant (also known as intumescent sealant or fire stopping sealant) is a specialist material designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through gaps, joints, and penetrations in fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings.

When exposed to heat, intumescent sealant expands to form a fire-resistant barrier, maintaining the integrity of compartmentation and allowing safe evacuation time.

Fire-rated sealant is mandatory in commercial buildings, new builds, HMOs, care homes, schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities to comply with UK Building Regulations.

Fire-Rated Sealant FAQs

Fire-rated sealant (intumescent sealant) is used to seal gaps, joints, and penetrations in fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings. It prevents fire and smoke from spreading between compartments, maintaining compartmentation and allowing safe evacuation time. Common applications include service penetrations (pipes, cables, ducts), expansion joints, door frame perimeters, and curtain wall gaps.
Yes. UK Building Regulations Approved Document B requires fire stopping of all penetrations and gaps in fire-resistant compartment walls and floors in commercial buildings, new builds, HMOs, care homes, schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities. Failure to install compliant fire-rated sealant is a breach of Building Regulations and creates serious fire safety risks.
Intumescent sealant expands when exposed to heat (typically above 200°C), forming a fire-resistant char barrier that prevents fire and smoke spread. Ordinary silicone or acrylic sealant will melt or burn in a fire and provides no fire resistance. Only tested and certified fire-rated sealant should be used for fire stopping applications.
High-quality intumescent sealant has a service life of 25+ years when correctly installed and protected from UV exposure and mechanical damage. Fire-rated sealant should be inspected periodically as part of fire safety inspections and replaced if cracked, damaged, or missing.
While not legally restricted to professionals, fire stopping sealant installation requires specialist knowledge of fire safety standards, product compatibility, substrate preparation, and correct application methods. Incorrect installation can result in failed fire resistance and serious safety risks. Professional installation is strongly recommended for Building Control approval and insurance compliance.
Yes. We provide full fire stopping installation records, including photographic evidence, product data sheets, certification details, fire resistance ratings, and fire stopping schedules. This documentation is essential for Building Control approval, fire risk assessments, and insurance compliance.
