How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
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 the locations noted.
Fire rated sealant in Pested
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. 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 are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Pested, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Pested
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
What we are called out for in Pested
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Pested, 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.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
