About our fire rated sealant in Milton
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We’re often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Milton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Milton
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Blaise, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Milton, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Fire rated sealant around Milton
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.
If you let a flat or house near Appleford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is

Milton: your questions answered
Is Milton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Milton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Milton?
Yes, Milton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Milton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
