DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Farthing Green
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Farthing Green. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In a village or hamlet like Farthing Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What does intumescent mean?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
