Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

FAQs for Penton Grafton
Is Penton Grafton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Penton Grafton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Penton Grafton
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harrow Way Community School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the quote in Penton Grafton
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
