What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and holes left by a change of layout, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bow Brickhill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Commercial buildings in Bow Brickhill
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Bow Brickhill station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Bow Brickhill CofE VA Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Common questions in Bow Brickhill
Do you cover smaller places like Bow Brickhill?
Yes. Bow Brickhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bow Brickhill?
Yes, Bow Brickhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
