How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Keeres Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Fire rated sealant in Keeres Green
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. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open joints along the top of partitions, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Keeres Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Keeres Green
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Keeres Green?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
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 means you can show the action was taken. Around Keeres Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Commercial buildings in Keeres Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodings Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Landlord and commercial work in Keeres Green
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
