Fire rated sealant in Shillinglee, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We’re often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a small place like Shillinglee, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Shillinglee, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fire rated sealant around Shillinglee
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Witley station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. In and around Shillinglee, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?

In a small place like Shillinglee, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

FAQs for Shillinglee
Do you cover smaller places like Shillinglee?
Yes. Shillinglee is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Shillinglee?
Yes, Shillinglee is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
