Bunkers Hill Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Bunkers Hill, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bunkers Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Fire rated sealant in Bunkers Hill
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Bunkers Hill, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bunkers Hill?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Marlborough School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether you can choose the colour

Questions from Bunkers Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Tackley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Bunkers Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Bunkers Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Bunkers Hill?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Fire rated sealant in Bunkers Hill: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Tackley station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of Holy Cross, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
