About our fire rated sealant in Locksgreen
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Locksgreen, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Locksgreen, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Locksgreen
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

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.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you an approved applicator?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Locksgreen?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
In and around Locksgreen, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Fire rated sealant around Locksgreen
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Locksgreen, 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, 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.
Whether the job is in Locksgreen itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
