What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Fire rated sealant in Loyterton
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a small place like Loyterton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Common problems we fix in Loyterton
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Rented homes near Teynham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Loyterton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Loyterton
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loyterton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Loyterton
Is Loyterton within the area you cover?
Yes. Loyterton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Loyterton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Loyterton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
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.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Commercial buildings in Loyterton
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.
Managing a site like Lynsted and Norton Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
