Burton End Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Burton End? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Burton End
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Burton End. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a village or hamlet like Burton End, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we’re called out for in Burton End
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Schools such as Forest Hall School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Burton End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Burton End: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Burton End?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Burton End?
Yes, Burton End is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
