Fire Rated Sealant in Fullwell Cross
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Fullwell Cross. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Fullwell Cross
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Fullwell Cross, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fullwell Cross as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Fullwell Cross
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Fullwell Cross, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Why it’s worth doing now in Fullwell Cross
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a smaller place like Fullwell Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Fullwell Cross questions

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Fullwell Cross?

Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Common problems we fix in Fullwell Cross
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Seven Kings station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Fire rated sealant around Fullwell Cross
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Clore Tikva School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St Francis of Assisi, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

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 fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
