About our fire rated sealant in Finberry
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Finberry, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why act early in Finberry
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Finberry can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Finberry clients choose us

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
What affects the quote in Finberry
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
If you are in Finberry and need fire rated sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
What we are called out for in Finberry
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Finberry, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Finberry: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?

Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
