How we quote for fire rated sealant

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height

About our fire rated sealant in Charlton
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Charlton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Charlton
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Charlton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Harrow Way Community School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Andover station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Charlton
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For buildings such as St Thomas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Charlton
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Charlton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- More than 20 years in sealant work

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Charlton needs a little journey planning: 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 go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Charlton: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Charlton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Charlton?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you work in Charlton?
We do. Charlton is part of the area we cover.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
