Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hales Place
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hales Place, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
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 job gets bigger.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a smaller place like Hales Place, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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 play a part.

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
