About our fire rated sealant in Graffham
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Graffham, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Graffham
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Graffham: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Graffham?
All our work, in Graffham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Graffham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Graffham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What affects the quote in Graffham
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Why it’s worth doing now in Graffham
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Graffham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
