How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garve
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you cover smaller places like Garve?

What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not 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. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Garve may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Garve, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Garve
