Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Akeley
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Somewhere as small as Akeley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Fire rated sealant around Akeley
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 Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Akeley Wood Senior School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Why act early in Akeley
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Akeley can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Akeley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
