Commercial buildings in Granborough
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.
Managing a site like Sir Thomas Fremantle School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Granborough
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Granborough, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Granborough questions
Do you cover smaller places like Granborough?
Yes, Granborough is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Granborough?
All our work, in Granborough and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.

What else we do in Granborough
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
What we’re called out for in Granborough
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Granborough, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
