Quotes for fire rated sealant in Arford
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

Fire rated sealant in Arford
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Arford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Arford
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.
Schools such as The Holme Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Liphook station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Arford, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What we’re called out for in Arford
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Arford questions
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Arford?
Yes. Arford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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 of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
