How we handle fire rated sealant in Barham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Barham. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Work in a small place like Barham is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the quote in Barham
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Fire rated sealant in Barham: local notes
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.
Managing a site like Barham Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Snowdown station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
