Fire-rated sealant in Lamport, Buckinghamshire
Fire rated sealant in Lamport from a team with over 20 years’ experience. 180+ five-star Google reviews and a 4.9 rating.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Common questions in Lamport
Will you come out to Lamport?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Lamport?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Lamport?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Lamport, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
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 fire rated sealant looks like in Lamport
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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Akeley Wood Senior School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
