Questions from Pilley Bailey
Will you come out to Pilley Bailey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Pilley Bailey?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Pilley Bailey is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Pilley Bailey?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Commercial buildings in Pilley Bailey
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Pilley Bailey, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Lymington Town station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Saint Nicholas Chapel are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we are called out for in Pilley Bailey
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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.
