Plumpton Fire Rated Sealant
Fire rated sealant across Plumpton and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Plumpton
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Plumpton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Plumpton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

Advice
What affects the quote in Plumpton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Plumpton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Plumpton
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
