Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Grandpont, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
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 will talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant in Grandpont, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with open gaps behind door architraves and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Grandpont, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What else we do in Grandpont
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Grandpont, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Grandpont

Will you come out to Grandpont?
Yes, Grandpont is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Grandpont
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 any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Matthew's, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different

Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.

Fire rated sealant around Grandpont
Grandpont has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like St Ebbe's Church of England Aided Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
