Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around Billingshurst, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Will you come out to Billingshurst?

What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Billingshurst?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
When to call us in Billingshurst
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps

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 will flag it.

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
