Fire rated sealant in Locks Heath
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Locks Heath, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

FAQs for Locks Heath
Is Locks Heath in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Locks Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Swanwick station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Locks Heath?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Locks Heath
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
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 usually a straightforward job.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Locks Heath
Commercial buildings in Locks Heath
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Locks Heath, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St John, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Park Gate Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the visit 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. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Locks Heath is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Why act early in Locks Heath
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Locks Heath, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
