How the job changes by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
About our fire rated sealant in Barns Green
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a small place like Barns Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Fire rated sealant around Barns Green
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.
If you look after a building such as Barns Green Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Barns Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
For anyone letting property in or around Barns Green, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we’re called out for in Barns Green
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
For landlords with property near Christs Hospital station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
