Fire rated sealant in East Cowes
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help.
Around a place like East Cowes, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we are called out for in East Cowes
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a building such as Isle of Wight Studio School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
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.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.

Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like East Cowes, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
