Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Preston, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

Advice
Common questions in Preston
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Preston?
Yes, Preston is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
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 of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Landlord and commercial work in Preston
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Preston, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we are called out for in Preston
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mildred, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Rented homes near Adisham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Preston Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why act early in Preston
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Preston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
