Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Little Barrington
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help.
Work in a small place like Little Barrington is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Little Barrington
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Little Barrington?
All our work, in Little Barrington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Little Barrington for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Barrington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Landlords and agents in Little Barrington can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
When to call us in Little Barrington
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Little Barrington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Little Barrington
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 Burford School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Barrington
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Barrington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
