Amberley Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for Amberley, backed by a 12-month guarantee. Call for a quick quote.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Holes left by a change of layout
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
About our fire rated sealant in Amberley
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Amberley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Amberley questions
Do you cover Amberley for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Amberley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Amberley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Amberley?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
What we are called out for in Amberley
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant in Amberley: local notes
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, 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.
If you look after a building such as Amberley CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Amberley station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Amberley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
