How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Appley
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Appley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Appley: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Appley?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Ryde St Johns Road station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. 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 record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Workplaces and buildings in Appley
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Appley, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Ryde St Johns Road station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. In an older home around Appley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
