Why it’s worth doing now in Little Almshoe
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Little Almshoe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Little Almshoe customers choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Fire rated sealant in Little Almshoe, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Little Almshoe, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What does fire rated sealant cost?

Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Little Almshoe
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Ippolyts (church of England), older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
