Fire rated sealant in Burlow, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
In a village or hamlet like Burlow, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Burlow
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Around Burlow, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burlow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Burlow
Can you do fire rated sealant in Burlow?
Yes, Burlow is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Burlow within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Burlow
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Burlow, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Burlow
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
