About our fire rated sealant in Milton Common
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In a village or hamlet like Milton Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Common problems we fix in Milton Common
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
In and around Milton Common, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Milton Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Fire rated sealant around Milton Common

Community buildings like Church of St Helen are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
