Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?

Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Luton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 faces 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 records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Luton?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Paul with All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
Why it’s worth doing now in Luton
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Luton, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Luton
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is

- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Fire rated sealant around Luton
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Luton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
If you look after a building such as Luton Infant & Nursery School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Chatham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
