The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Molehill Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
Fire rated sealant in Molehill Green
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a small place like Molehill Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Molehill Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Molehill Green?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
In and around Molehill Green, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
