- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Fire rated sealant in George Green, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as George Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Questions from George Green
Will you come out to George Green?
Yes. George Green 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.
I let a flat near Langley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in George Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as George Green, 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.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in George Green
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Wexham Court Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Langley station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you need fire rated sealant in George Green?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
