Fire Rated Sealant in Padbury
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Padbury? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Padbury
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. 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 fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Padbury, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Padbury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Padbury
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Padbury?
All our work, in Padbury and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Padbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Padbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Fire rated sealant around Padbury
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Padbury Church of England School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
