If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help.

Landlord and commercial work in Causeway End
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Commercial buildings in Causeway End
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.
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Cross, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. 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.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Causeway End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Causeway End
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Causeway End?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Causeway End for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Causeway End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Causeway End?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a building such as Felsted Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
