Rushden Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Rushden? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion

Fire rated sealant in Rushden, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
Work in a small place like Rushden is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Rushden and across Hertfordshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushden
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Rushden
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
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.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Rushden
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Baldock station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Rushden, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rushden can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
