Holborough Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Holborough need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Holborough
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Holborough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

About our fire rated sealant in Holborough
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Around a place like Holborough, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Holborough?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like Church of the New Jerusalem are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Holborough is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
