Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Perrywood
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 work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Perrywood, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
FAQs for Perrywood
Is Perrywood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Perrywood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When to call us in Perrywood
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Perrywood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Commercial buildings in Perrywood
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Selling Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
