What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- The type of sealant required

- Whether the work is at height

Fire rated sealant in Buckland, done properly
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. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Buckland, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Buckland
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Workplaces and buildings in Buckland
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.
Rented homes near Betchworth station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Reigate College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the job changes by surface

Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
FAQs for Buckland
Do you cover Buckland for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Buckland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Betchworth station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
