Fire rated sealant in Elvington
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Elvington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Fire rated sealant in Elvington: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Elvington
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:

- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Elvington: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Elvington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Elvington?
There’s no set price, as it 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 any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Elvington
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Shepherds Well station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Elvington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
