Ingrams Green Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Ingrams Green need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Fire rated sealant in Ingrams Green, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Somewhere as small as Ingrams 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Ingrams Green, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Questions from Ingrams Green
Will you come out to Ingrams Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Ingrams Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ingrams Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ingrams Green
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Ingrams Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Ingrams Green
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
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
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 so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Workplaces and buildings in Ingrams Green
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Around Ingrams Green, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Ingrams Green itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
