Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hornton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

About our fire rated sealant in Hornton
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Hornton, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Hornton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed 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 for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What we are called out for in Hornton
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like Hornton Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hornton
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Common questions in Hornton

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Fire rated sealant in Hornton: 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 Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
