DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Ryde. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it.

For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Ryde, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Work can be planned around opening hours where needed.

Ryde: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Ryde?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ryde?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ryde is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
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 guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What affects the quote in Ryde
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Fire rated sealant in Ryde: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ryde, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Ryde has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Managing a site like Dover Park Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like All Saints' Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Ryde
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Ryde St Johns Road station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
