Fire rated sealant in Milton Keynes: how it works

Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building.

We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

What affects the price in Milton Keynes

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What happens if it’s left?

Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else.

Honest limits

Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Milton Keynes: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.

How long does fire rated sealant take?

Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

What fire rating will the seal have?

We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?

No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.

What do you put in the joint?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.

Will it make a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Will we have a record of what was sealed?

Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
