Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ickford
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open gaps behind door architraves, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Ickford, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Ickford and everywhere else we cover.

Common questions in Ickford
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Ickford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Ickford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ickford
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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 building such as Ickford School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Parish Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
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.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Ickford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Ickford, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- 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 for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
