What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost 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, so you know where you stand.

About our fire rated sealant in Shackleford
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. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Shackleford, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shackleford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Shackleford
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

Fire rated sealant in Shackleford: local notes
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
