How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Caldecote

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Caldecote, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What we’re called out for in Caldecote
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For landlords with property near Baldock station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
