Fire rated sealant around Anstey
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Anstey First School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What else we do in Anstey
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What we’re called out for in Anstey
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Church of St George are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Anstey questions
Is fire rated sealant in Anstey guaranteed?
All our work, in Anstey and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Anstey?
Yes, Anstey is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Anstey?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Anstey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Anstey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We’re fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We never seal over old sealant
