How we handle fire rated sealant in Eversholt
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open joints along the top of partitions.
For a small place like Eversholt, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Eversholt questions
I let a flat near Flitwick station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Eversholt?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is it worth trying 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Eversholt?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

What else we do in Eversholt
What fire rated sealant looks like in Eversholt
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Flitwick station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Eversholt
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Eversholt, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs

- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- 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
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
