How we handle fire rated sealant in Northmoor
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Northmoor, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Northmoor
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Denys, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Northmoor, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Northmoor
Do you cover Northmoor for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Northmoor is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Northmoor?
Yes. Northmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Northmoor, 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant around Northmoor
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.
In and around Northmoor, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
