Fire rated sealant in Row Heath, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Row Heath, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Row Heath
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.

Row Heath questions
Is Row Heath in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Row Heath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Row Heath?
Yes, Row Heath is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Row Heath
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Engaines Primary School and Nursery, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Weeley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Row Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
