Questions from Ellingham
Do you cover smaller places like Ellingham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Ellingham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ellingham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ellingham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ellingham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ellingham as everywhere else we work.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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. In a small place like Ellingham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Why it’s worth doing now in Ellingham
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ellingham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Commercial buildings in Ellingham
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary and All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we are called out for in Ellingham
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Ringwood School Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
