How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant in East Garston Woodlands, done properly
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 fire seals that have cracked with movement and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near East Garston Woodlands, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

FAQs for East Garston Woodlands
Is East Garston Woodlands within the area you cover?
Yes. East Garston Woodlands is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hungerford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Garston Woodlands, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
