Why deal with it now?
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 work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fingest, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

About our fire rated sealant in Fingest
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Fingest, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Fingest
Is Fingest in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Fingest is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Fingest?
Yes. Fingest 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.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Fingest, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Fingest
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as Church of St Bartholomew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Workplaces and buildings in Fingest
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Cadmore End CofE School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
