What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Fire rated sealant in New Town, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near New Town, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Town
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like New Town, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as New Town, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Workplaces and buildings in New Town
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Pangbourne station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as St Stephen's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Basildon C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps

Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
