Fire rated sealant in Golden Pot
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; 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 plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Somewhere as small as Golden Pot, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Golden Pot needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Golden Pot
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Golden Pot
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Golden Pot, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Do you cover Golden Pot for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Golden Pot is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
