Beedon Fire Rated Sealant
Fire rated sealant across Beedon and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
About our fire rated sealant in Beedon
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout.
Work in a small place like Beedon is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Beedon
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Fire rated sealant around Beedon
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Beedon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What we’re called out for in Beedon
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Beedon questions
Is fire rated sealant in Beedon guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Beedon?
Yes, Beedon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is intumescent sealant the same as 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.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
