Your questions about fire rated sealant in Parkgate
Can you do fire rated sealant in Parkgate?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Parkgate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Parkgate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Fire rated sealant in Parkgate
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We’re often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps.
For a small place like Parkgate, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
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. In a small place like Parkgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Parkgate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

What affects the quote in Parkgate
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

What we are called out for in Parkgate
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Holmwood station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
