About our fire rated sealant in Gants Hill
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Gants Hill, and room-by-room programmes can be planned where needed.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before we start.
Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Gants Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- 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 get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Gants Hill questions
Do you work in hotels near Gants Hill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is parking a problem for a job in Gants Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Fire rated sealant around Gants Hill
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Gants Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For buildings such as St George's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Gearies Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
