What fire rated sealant looks like in Linton
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Cornwallis Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as St Nicholas Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Linton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Linton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Linton: your questions answered
Is Linton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Linton for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Linton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Common problems we fix in Linton
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 doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
