How we handle fire rated sealant in Monk Street
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We’re often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Monk Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Monk Street
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

Common problems we fix in Monk Street
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
In and around Monk Street, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Monk Street
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Monk Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Questions from Monk Street
Do you cover Monk Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Monk Street is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Monk Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Monk Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What else we do in Monk Street
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Monk Street can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
