Fire rated sealant in Fairfield
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Somewhere as small as Fairfield, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Fairfield
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Fairfield
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For landlords with property near Letchworth Garden City station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Fire rated sealant around Fairfield
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Thomas' Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Fairfield Park Lower School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Fairfield, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Questions from Fairfield
Do you cover Fairfield for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Fairfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Fairfield?
Yes. Fairfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fairfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
