What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Cray's Pond, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from Cray's Pond
Do you cover smaller places like Cray's Pond?
Yes. Cray's Pond is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Cray's Pond in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cray's Pond is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cray's Pond?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Common problems we fix in Cray's Pond
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Oratory Preparatory School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Cray's Pond, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
