What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Mile Oak
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, 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.
For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Mascalls School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Mile Oak
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Mile Oak needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
