DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
About our fire rated sealant in Hill Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Hill Green. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
Somewhere as small as Hill Green, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Hill Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hill Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Hill Green: your questions answered
Is Hill Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hill Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Hill Green?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
When to call us in Hill Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Managing a site like Clavering Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the quote in Hill Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Commercial buildings in Hill Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Newport (Essex) station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary and St Clement, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
