About our fire rated sealant in Pilgrims Hatch
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Pilgrims Hatch, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Pilgrims Hatch and everywhere else we cover.

- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place

Other services in Pilgrims Hatch
Do you need fire rated sealant in Pilgrims Hatch?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Larchwood Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Pilgrims Hatch, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the quote in Pilgrims Hatch
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. 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. In an older home around Pilgrims Hatch, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
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.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
