Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?

Can you work in occupied buildings?

How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Fire rated sealant in Maplescombe
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Maplescombe, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building.
