Fire rated sealant in Felcourt
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
In a village or hamlet like Felcourt, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Felcourt
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Dormans station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common questions in Felcourt
Do you cover Felcourt for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Felcourt is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Felcourt within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What we are called out for in Felcourt
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Felcourt, access is normally 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Plasterboard & masonry

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
