Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ansteadbrook
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ansteadbrook, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Ansteadbrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber 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. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
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, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Ansteadbrook, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
