DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Radwinter
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Fire rated sealant in Radwinter: local notes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Radwinter Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Radwinter
Can you do fire rated sealant in Radwinter?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Radwinter is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Radwinter?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Radwinter, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Radwinter
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
