Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Postcombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Postcombe
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have holes left by a change of layout and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Postcombe, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.

Advice
Questions from Postcombe
Is Postcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Postcombe?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Postcombe is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Postcombe?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant around Postcombe
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Around Postcombe, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
