Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hillgrove
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Fire rated sealant in Hillgrove, done properly
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, and we can record what went where. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Hillgrove, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hillgrove and across the Isle of Wight.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.

Hillgrove: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Hillgrove for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hillgrove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
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, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hillgrove needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Hillgrove, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant in Hillgrove: local notes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Mark's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Smallbrook Junction station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Wootton Community Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
