Fire rated sealant in Runwell, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Runwell have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Runwell
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Runwell
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Runwell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Do you need fire rated sealant in Runwell?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Runwell Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
