Fire rated sealant in Butt's Green, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Butt's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common problems we fix in Butt's Green
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Butt's Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Beaulieu Park station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Butt's Green?
Yes, Butt's Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Butt's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Butt's Green
Landlords and agents in Butt's Green can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
